Huge Lunch in Corps our Parting

---

Hi all,

I am sitting in a small bar in Corps south of Grenoble watching the final time trial - very exciting. Evans is peging back time but its going to be close We just had a huge gormet 8 course french lunch at the hotel de la poste to farewell our tour of France as tomorrow we all have to drift north to franfurt to return our vans and then fly home. everyone is looking forward to being home despite having a wonderful time following the tour. If I get a chance I will doa final update in frankfurt and add some pics of the great ride we did yesterday from alp d huez to bourg d oisans via a couple of mountains and a big lunch!

Missing everyone _ cant wait to be back at work!!!!!! Ha ha!

hello
hello dad apparently you only posted this ten minutes ago which is quite exciting all is very boring here. i tried going on a walk with ellie today but she just complained the whole time so i am looking forward to going for a walk with you when you are back. i think rusty will be too so i don't have to yell at him to sit down anymore. anyway it looks like you are having a good time but your facial hair is quite disturbing. kindly remove it before your return. also, have you actually worn anything other than your team liggett jersey and that strange looking hat which doesnt look like it offers a lot of sun protection. maybe it is so that you can "feel the confidence" anyway i hope i didnt bore you after you have been having such an exciting time and we are at home watching french movies with confusing plots that go for about three hours. anyway have a good return to frankfurter and say something in german please. love from kate

OH SO SOON IT FINISHES
Hi Rod, can not believe it is nearly all over. What a fantastic trip you have had. Hope you have been washing those jerseys, must have been otherwise poor Phil would have been holding his noise. How great to get a photo of all of you together. Work awaits, just as it always does - so don't hurry back. Cheers Karen
