Pure Adrenaline


I'm typing with my eyes half open. Columbia High Road won today's stage so the wine was flowing at dinner and I'm whooped. Some quick highlights tho, riding in the team car is better than any roller coaster I've ever been on. You've got more motorcycles zipping forward and back then you can keep track of, the other team cars jockeying for position, the riders themselves and of course the nature of roads winding through the little towns with super narrow streets and crazy vertical switchbacks that dot the Swiss Alps. The drivers of all mentioned vehicles do NOT slow down for shit. It's seriously close to rally racing - I hung the cam out the side of the door and the footage is nuts. I'll post a video I shot with my still cam - still gives you a good feeling for it.

We were doing about 40mph when I snapped this...

Here's yet another gorgeous scenic - hard to keep from snapping shot after shot like this...

This is the tv helo that would sometimes hover about 100' over us - the same nuts who design the roads here have pilots licenses...

More tomorrow - I"m knackered.
