Last Tuesday I went to Valkenburg, where the third stage of the Tour de France 2006 finished! It's 1,5 hours by bike from where I live, so it's in the neighbourhood and I HAD to be there!!!

In total 6600 people showed up. I saw a lot of my former classmates, some of whom I hadn't seen for over six or seven years, so we had a lot of catching up to do! ( Read more... )
