As the racers head in to Paris

I've had a great time watching this year's Tour de France.
Congrats to Contador on his victory (today's stage is mostly ceremonial)
Congrats to Lance for making the podium after 4 years off.
Thanks go out to Lance also for bringing so many fans to the race and
for all the money he's raised for his Foundation for Cancer Survivors.

Fun to watch the race in real time on TV in the morning with all the other race
fans following on the internet. And it has been a blast to present the 5pm
Race Replay for the bike pals at the Lakeside Lounge.

It was fun to watch Contador fly and to watch Lance use his head to
stay in the race but my favorite image from this tour has to be this
shot of the exhausted Russian racer Serguei Ivanov just after he had scored the first big stage win
of his entire career battling his way up the mountain on Stage 14.

TdF isn't the only thing going on in July/New Studio-New Website

The Tour de France isn't the only thing going on in July but it has been a good
one and it is getting better. Today's stage in the Alps was pretty darn exciting.
Watched this morning live then watched the daily 5pm Race Replay again at the Lakeside
with 40 cycling fans who all got a kick out of watching Lance (yeah, we can
refer to him with one name) play 'team player' helping race leader/teamate
Alberto Contador.

Lance leads Astana teammate and current TdF leader Contador through an Alpine snow tunnel at over 55 mph

Also this month I've been working on a new website for the new location of Cowboy Technical Services.
Check it out. I used iWeb and tried to keep it clean so you could read it on your phone if that happens
to be how you roll. We have a CTS Recording Blog on that site too. I've just started it but I'm gonna sorta rate
the our new favorite lunch spots.
