On July 14th, Bastille Day, we drove to Chambery to watch the start of the tenth stage of the Tour de France. My brother, Scott Richards and his son, Justin, were visiting us as they were on their way to Moscow, Russia to visit Scott's oldest son, Ben, who is an interpreter for the embassy there. Scott is a avid cyclist and the Tour de France was his dream. We arrived in Chambery early and were able to watch all the parades, signing in of teams, etc. We found a shaded place to sit/stand to watch the race. To our utter amazement, Lance Armstrong, Scott's idol, pulled up right across from us. He was last in line of all the riders. Scott was thrilled. Lance is the rider in the red and black jersey in the second photo. It was truly a day to remember!
