On the third day of the 2012 Tour de France I cycled about 35 kilometers from the campground in Hony, Belgium to a random point on the racetrack somewhere north of Engis (I’m not exactly sure where it was to be honest). I got there just as the sponsor vehicles were passing through, shot a ton of video, and then cycled back to the campground after the racers had passed through. The ride back was a long one – especially because I had a long, uphill climb to conquer. But when I made it back to the campsite that night and had practically the entire place to myself again, I felt good and realized that I had just experienced one of my ideal bicycle touring days.
