Tea stage in Laguna Hills

Tour de France excitement is all around our house, so; dans l'esprit de Tour (in the spirit of the tour) Today’s stage:
Robbie made an early solo breakaway on the fast down hill to the living room. She quickly cleaned up last nights tea “stuff”. Fresh water in the kettle, Pot and Cups clean … A perfect lead-out.
I pulled back the gap and we had a two person breakaway on the long flat TEA stage.
After 4 pots of 12yr old Shenpu Menghai, Heather bridged the gap and the 3 person effort quickly dropped another two pots. At the base of mount Vespucci I made a solo run at the Col de Commerce…. a 12 km steady climb .. keeping my lead in the mountain stages .. We (Anna & Mike) celebrated with Pu-erh (12 yr loose Shupu )....



Juan Mauricio Soler, today's stage winner...The normally stoic Vino' weeps after conceding more time today!
