Ominous events in Reims.........

I should have known it was a mistake to mention rain.... as we have all become reaquainted with it this evening in Reims as the peloton gathered after dinner to watch an astonshing celebration of the Cathedral's 800th anniversary (a mere 100x longer than our bike ride has been going...). Lightning added to the illuminations and thunder echoed around the Cathedral as we gazed to the heavens and contemplated what lies in-store for us tomorrow........... Alan, naturally, was the only man in the City with an umbrella!
