After watching the TDF stage on Versus, I had a hike down by Crosby Farm. The bike race was pretty interesting. The Contador managed to squeak into the lead with what has been judged a slightly unethical move, when the Schleck unchained his bike in a burst of acceleration. Contador didn't wait, as ethics require(?), but took off up the mountain. To climb mountains like they do, they must have some interesting substances flowing through their veins. Contador now leads by 8 seconds, which is not a very secure lead. The next few stages should be very competitive.
The hike at Crosby was uneventful, but restful and pretty. I managed to squeeze off one photo of the path through the woods. I have biked this path on many occasions.
The geezer tennis session at 3:30 included two very close sets and finished at 6:00. There don't seem to be many lopsided sets anymore and it takes longer and longer to determine a winner. It's fun on a nice day like today, but on the high dew point days, it can be pretty grueling.

Contador hasn't been caught doping yet, but he isn't an appealing kind of guy, is he? But then, neither is Andy Schleck.
Nice path through the woods -- pretty spot.
Stay hydrated.
