    P.s. he used to be known not to take showers the whole 3 weeks of the tour.
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    This got me thinking, can you imagine how it must smell near the summits-all those people, camped out for who knows how long, especially if they are drinking as much as Bob Roll says they are? Add limited bathroom facilities (i.e. none ex. motor homes) and it could be really icky.

    If I were a TdF rider, I would be REALLY focused near the summits. . .

    You have no idea how rank it can get.

    In 2004, we did the RV thing, and one of our camp outs was 2 k from the summit of Plateau de Beille. It was great, but we had to park at a little bit of a slope because of how things were - we just couldn't find a level spot. Well, the RV refrigerator doesn't work if you are not perfectly level. Imagine a few hot days and pate and cheese... We were glad to get down from there.

    It was SUPER fun, though. It's a big roving party. We met some great people (including the entire Leipheimer family). We drank a lot of pastis and rose wine. I'd do it again in a second.
