Tour De France: Yverdon Les Bain

So another weekend approached and rain was forecasted so KK and I chilled in GE Saturday and caught up on some much needed chill time after a hectic week at work. Sunday came and the weather looked good so we took the opportunity to see the TDF in CH! We grabbed a train to Yverdon Les Bain from GE and arrived to see the caravan setting up.

The caravan is a pre-race favorite with kids and adults alike where there are "floats" that drive around about an hour before the race and throw out free swag from the TDF sponsors.

After the caravan passed we walked about a mile and found a slight incline so when the Peleton passed it would be more than 10 seconds...and here it comes!

After the race passed KK and I grab some lunch in the cute town center:
