    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.
