Alice and I went to Laval to see the twelfth stage in the Tour de France. It was a great experience. We parked a few blocks away and followed the crowd of people as they lined up along the street waiting for the cyclists. The riders had left an hour and a half earlier and were still going strong as they whizzed through the town.

The overall leader in the race is in the yellow t-shirt.

Chris Froome of Britain riding for team Sky was in control as he passed by surrounded by his black jersey and blue helmet team mates. He is in the center of the picture above. The German rider, Marcel Kittel, would take the day's win when they arrived in Tours 4hours and 49 minutes after a 135 mile race.
It was cool being there to see the one hundredth Tour de France and following it on French TV. It will wrap up with a final stage of the race that ends in Paris on the 21st of July. And yes there's even an app for that.
