Froome, nous avons trouvé votre vélo.

That's my favorite moment from today's stage, a nice French lady standing by the side of the road with a sign proclaiming what should be good news for the maillot jaune.

Of course, currently strongly contending for my favorite TdF moment ever is Froomey running up the hill after losing son vélo. Someone with better knowledge of the language than my severely limited French should check on my use of possessive pronouns.

Here is a link to the French coverage (my favorite) for anyone who hasn't seen it.

We had a really swell time last night but you can't live forever in the past so we set out today in search of new experiences.

We rode down to the Stone Arch Bridge where we encountered a surprisingly small crowd considering that today is Saturday and it was a beautiful day in July.

Saint Anthony Falls.  The rivers of Minnesota are running at or near flood stage after the most recent heavy storms.

The water is very brown, carrying a lot of sediment towards the delta.  Or at least down to the Ford dam.

GRider (and FirstLOOK) for scale.

We circled around through the main campus and got this view of the Washington Avenue Bridge and the infamous Weisman Art Museum (infamous because of its non-traditional exterior).

On the way home we experienced something fairly significant for FirstLOOK.

And yes indeed, that is a lot of miles.

You can't live in the past but who knows what the future holds in store for us.  Maybe, just maybe, I can accumulate enough miles to have done a simulated bicycle ride around the world.

THAT would be a lot of miles.
