Was mulling over the idea of a trip.... stages 17,18,19 in the alps look like they might be fun. I would love to get some cycling in as well.
Do you reckon its possible to park somewhere three-quarters of the way up and camp. Early the morning of stage descend and turn around and ride back up. Wait a few hours and see the pros come through.
So for instance on Stage 19 park 3/4 of the way up Galibier the night before the stage and then camp. Early the following morning get on the bike and descend to the bottom of telegraphe and then u-turn and do the climb. Get the car, eat, drink and watch the pros.
