Interested in going to see the Tour de France this year?

First of all, I have no vested interest in this, though I am giving Transition Packs away to people who sign up. I am just trying to help out a friend keep his business going.

A close friend of mine from Spain, Carles Civit, has organized an amazing eight-day tour of the Costa Brava Region of Spain. The trip begins and ends in one of my favorite cities in the world, Barcelona and includes five days of riding, three of which are coastal and mountain stages of the 2009 Tour de France. Guests will primarily be staying in a quaint and cool hotel in the little coastal village of Llansa in the province of Girona, a region with a climate so mild and ideal for riding, that Lance Armstrong has a home there. Guests will also cycle and stay in Andorra, one of the smallest countries in the world nestled high in the Pyrenees. Having grown up on the region, Carlos has planned numerous cultural and site-seeing adventures as well.

One of the nicest features of this tour is that it is limited to 30 people. For more information, please visit his website at www.cyclingtourcostabrava.com. Tell Carles I sent you, and receive a free Transition Pack when you sign up.

If my shoulder surgery recovery continues, I will be there riding too!

Oh and this will be your last Chance to see Lance, and ride and watch stages of the Tour de France.
