I'm here!!! Had a whirlwind travel day and got to talk to a lot of interesting folks in my travels thus far.
I got to ride in our rental car with an absolutely nutty dude name Bob Roll. If you click on that link you can get the gist of what he might be like in person. I kind of wish I had read it prior to meeting him, but at the same time it may have ruined the surprise. He drives like and absolute maniac which is totally awesome! In the thick Paris traffic it's an absolute must to have a guy like him at the wheel. It's a lot like an R rated amusement park ride if you can imagine such a thing! He is constantly chattering as he weaves in and out of traffic, berating anyone or anything that gets in his way. We made what could have been a five hour trip more like 4, but the entertainment factor made seem even quicker!!!
I'm off to take a walk around the lake here in Ploermel and then head into work to start setting things up. Our race coverage begins on Saturday at 8:30am EDT.
Adieu!
I've never read a broadcaster's bio with so much tummy trouble in it.
