Jul 2019

Sunday in Paris expected high of 78.

Cyclists were flying down the final descent before the last climb when the road was blocked about ten miles ahead. Not only was there a large buildup of hail (or whatever) blocking the route, there was also a significant mud and rock slide blocking another section of the route.

This has been an unpredictable Tour, nothing more so than today.
