Last year, my
friend Bruce Aldrich joined me for the final eight days of the 2006 Tour de
France. He took hundreds of image and a good supply of video during his
maiden voyage to the race.

As an elite athlete and skilled
photographer and videographer, Bruce made an 18 1/2-minute video called
Eight Days On The Tour de France, 2006. I'm biased but I believe it
provides a unique combined perspective on the race — from a fan's
perspective and as an insider who traveled as a journalist on the
course.
After a decade at the Tour, this condensed eight-minute
version of Bruce's video also perfectly summarizes my experiences at the
Tour. I like to call it "A Wondrous Grind."
