Not much to say. Flight to Detroit was uneventful. Detroit Airport was kinda cool. Flight to Paris was also uneventful.
My bike and all bags made it. I think I slept 4 hours...could use a nap right now...bike ride is planned for 4 pm..right after blood thinner shot (last shot until I fly out--i take one the morning of, then 24 hours later to keep clots from forming). Not sure why clots like airplanes, think it's all the sitting and something to do w/ the cabin pressure. Anyhow, I'm keeping them away. one clot was enough.
Tonight my roommate is Courtney. She's from Salt Lake. Has lived in Wisconsin & Houston. Went on the same tour in 2004 and is back for more. She's sleeping right now. After the ride there will be a welcome dinner to meet everyone.
The Novatel Hotel is very modern, but the hair dryer looks like it is from the 70's w/ it's long hose. We are staying near the airport, so nothing too exciting to look at.
That's all for today...
Tomorrow:
First real bike ride 50 k and we stay in Beaune, we are working our way down to Chimonix --in the middle of the Alps.
