This is a shot of the last 5K (tough) of the Galibier, where we will pre-ride and then watch stage 9, where their lunch tents will be waiting for us.
Thomson's itinerary will start and end in Lyon instead of Geneva. They don't have anything posted yet, but here is what I anticipate based on my conversations with them. I suggest we plan to arrive a day early due to jet lag and the early departure from Lyon on Friday.
Wednesday, July 11, Depart Minneapolis in the afternoon.
Thursday, July 12, Arrive Lyon - Relax, recover.
Friday, July 13, Depart Lyon for Megeve at 10:30AM, warm-up ride.
Saturday, July 14, Pre-ride stage 7, watch on the Columbiere.
Sunday, July 15, Pre-ride stage 8, watch on the Roselend.
Monday, July 16, Transfer to Eybens. Alpe dHuez?
Tuesday, July 17, Pre-ride stage 9, watch on the Galibier.
Wednesday, July 18, Croix de Fer and Glandon?
Thursday, July 19, Arrive in Lyon at 10:00AM. Depart for Minneapolis around Noon.
Still waiting on the final details and cost. I think this will be our best option as long as the price comes in around the same as Discover France.
