France (2)

So, I didn't let people know how last weekends race ended. But ultimately, it did not end up that well. The last stage was 120 miles with over 40 kilometers of hard climbing, and it was snowing/raining the whole day. I ended up not finishing, but so did a majority of the other guys. From the 80 or 90 starters, only 28 finished. The good news was my teammates finished 6th and 8th on the stage, and were both in the top ten overall, so they both had really good races.
After the race, we went to Limoux, France, for a few days of training (and recovering). It is really awesome here. We are staying in the middle of old town, walking distance from the main square, and just about everything else you could need. The weather was not that nice for the first few days, but it cleared up, and now we have been having some really nice weather. Anyhow, we leave Limoux tomorrow for a 3 day race called the Tour of Gironde.

 Here are some pictures from around town:
