Early this morning, I was allowed to ride the time trial course. For the most part the course was closed. It was great. The first 15 or 20km are fairly flat and you can really go, however at the 30km mark there is a short category 3 climb, the Col de Buffy.
While riding it on a regular road bike isn't too bad, I can't imagine trying to climb it on a time trial bike.
Afterward, we came back to the hotel and scoped out some good spots to take pictures of the pros.

While I was shooting the attached picture of Cadel Evans, he told the fan that he has plenty of time for autographs now that the GC is out of reach...lol.
The picture of Lance was right after he left the start house at the first turn.
Tomorrow morning, we leave Annecy and transfer to Alpe d' Huez where we will climb it and have lunch at the summit. Afterward we transfer to Privas for the night prior to Saturday's stage to Ventoux.
