Mount Ventoux: 2009 Tour De France

Mount Ventoux: 2009 Tour De France

I’m sitting in ATL airport, waiting to catch a flight back to Seattle after having spent a week at the Microsoft MGX conference.   It’s tough being here, as I’d definitely love to by home with my wife and our crazy dog.   I’d also love to be out watching the White River 50M…which promises to be a great race once again.  

The saving grace…the live coverage of the Tour De France on Versus.  Climbing Mount Ventoux – the Schleck brothers trying to do everything they can do distance themselves from Contador and Armstrong.  The Astana team refusing to relent.   10k to go…a half hour of this unending move, counter….move, counter.   It’s as intense as any race you’ll ever watch.   WOW!
