Awsome! Hey, since you have routed it on some haphazard circuit like through the arches, can we change the rules to full contact? We need a little midevil stuff to liven it up a little.

I'm expecting to see TV coverage of a crazy Frenchman in a 914 hat running wildly cheering on the leaders! Wish I was there.

You are welcome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am amazed how the tour de France has became popular in the US since Armstrong won it ... This has become a world wide event. They have counted about 15 million people on the roadside !
