 Tour de France Trip 2009
Memorabilia - Holidays etcGary writes: We hit France full of enthusiasm on July 2nd, driving down to Cannes (Monaco was full!!!) for the Grand Depart!!!  A few cold beers helped cool us down in the 37 degree heat, and by Saturday we were all set to watch Wiggo take yellow in the flesh.  Then reality kicked in!!!!  After driving the 25 or so miles to Monaco on Saturday morning, we found that it was closed for the day!  Couldn''t get anywhere near close with the car, and after  2hrs of trying to sneak in the back way (satnav does have it''s uses) without beating the crafty Gendarmes, we gave up and headed back the the air conditioned bar of the hotel for more ice cold beers!!!!

Headed off to Montpellier, and looked forward to the TTT (more prospects of a Brit / Yellow day) only to hit the same problem......too far to walk and too hot.  Hmmmmmm, something told me that the fantastic weather was conspiring against us and that we''d need to wait until the Alps.

So, 2 weeks in the beautiful Lot valley and up at dawn every day to get out on the bike and get those miles in....(yeah right!).  OK, truth time.....approx 150 miles in two weeks....but there were quite a few more ice cold beers in between!!!

Time to head to the Alps!  One week in Morzine, which is a fantastic base for the Tour alpine stages.  Managed to grab a glimpse of Thor Hushovd on his "great escape" just before the last big descent into Cluses, AND we got back to the house in time to watch the last 2 climbs ....Come On Wiggo!!!!

Over to Annecy.  Fantastic day. Grabbed over 350 photos (get a life!) of all the main players (plus a couple of me having more cold beers). 

This was the best day at the Tour for me.  We got back to the house in Morzine after the stage and I immediately got out the bike and headed off into the Alps.  I was motivated!  I was inspired!  I was driven!.....  Bad Move!!  Time for a serious reality check!!  Those hills are for real.   Anyhow, after crawling back to the house I decided to put the bike away until we got home to Britain (sensible option).

Almost at Paris.  Whilst the riders were making their way up the Ventoux, we were making our way up France to Paris for the Grand Finale (Come on Cav).  We had a great day in Paris (more cold beers) and Cav did the biz. Almost becoming a British institution!

Monday 27th July, headed up tp Zeebrugge for the ferry back to Scotland, and the 4 weeks were just memory.

What a fantastic time, and what a fantastic sport.  As someone once said..."Vive le Tour".....we''ll be back next year.  Come on Wiggo and Cav!!!!!

 Arran Brown
Info on Club MembersFor those of you who met Arran Brown you will be interested in hearing that he won the Argos Tour in South Africa.  Tony wrote congratulating him and this is his reply
“Great to hear from you, I often think about you and wonder how you are! Yes my England trip was something else but managed to come back to SA and collect my thoughts and get on with it, so its been going well.
Thanks for your wishes and hope all the club guys are well, hopefully when I come out next we can get together and have a ride with the guys again!
If you would like to visit out team website www.teammedscheme.co.za you can keep up to date with what we are doing.”
looking at some of the people he beat in the results pages:

 Old Members - contacts, etc.
Info on Club Members25/05/2008

I have now posted lots of pictures in the “All our Yesterdays” album which have been sent to me by John Hazlehurst.

John can remember some names – Dick & Dot, Alec Noble who went to America, Bill Garry, Malcolm Hare – do you know which photos these people are on.  If you do, then let me know and I will amend the caption, also where you think they were taken.  John says these photos were taken between 1948 and 1956.  He married and went to live in Australia in 1957 – those of you who live “down under” let me know who and where you are and I will put you in touch with John.  Its good to keep in touch and with the technology that we now have, this is so much easier.  We need more people to come out of the woodwork.

Any one else who would like to contact old friends, let me know and I will post the information.  We have had one really good success story, so how many more can we reach.

My email address is beryl.bowes@btinternet.com
