Tour de France 2014 - riemiramont

Another day of the tour down , have now seen 95 stages. Started today with a run at Chalonst for 1 whole hour today, thats an improvement. Shopping at Carrefour, then heading south for about 200k. BB still not well with a chest infection and as it is still raining, have checked into another Ibis to give him time to recover. Walked from the motel to the tour route, only 5min walk and just as we got there is started pouring rain. Lucky we didn't have to wait long for the caravan to come thru and the bridge we were standing under offered little protection from the rain and we had no wet whether gear, we were drenched. A lovely Portuguese lady shared her umbrella with me. It would be the wettest caravan we have ever watched, they speed thru town throwing minimal. I didn't get the camera out, bb was talking videos and I thought he would do such a good job, leave it to him. Went back to Ibis to watch tour on TV , then I ran down to watch the riders come through and bb recorded the TV, not real clear but made it on TV. Walked up to the centre Ville in hope of finding a laundry but unfortunately it closed up, so back to the Ibis for lots of hand washing, just need to get it dry now. Lunch and dinner today consisted of baguette cheese tomato and cucumber, and tinned veggies and baguette for dinner. Both again with lots of mustard. BB doesn't appear to have improved thru the night, will need to be careful.
