PLEASE BRING A SIDE DISH, SALAD, OR DESSERT (see below)

 

Tom and Kathy’s 4th Annual Tour de France Party

When: Saturday, July 15^th, starting around 2 pm.

Where: Our house, 1211 Deborah Drive, Huntsville

<>Directions:  Take Memorial Parkway to Drake Avenue.  Go east on Drake
                     (toward the mountain) for 2 miles.  Take a left at the blinking
                     <>red light, going uphill.  (Imagine ending all of your bike rides
                 from home with this climb!)  Take the third right, Deborah Drive. 
                    Our house is the 6th house on the left --tan painted brick, one story. 
                     Lots of on-street parking available; there are a few spots at the top
                    of the driveway for the injured / disabled, if you can't climb up our
                    steep driveway.

Stage 13 (on July 15^th) is a relatively flat stage (sorry, nothing but the prologue and time trials on the other Saturdays!) The route that day is
Béziers Méditerranée to Montélimar, a 230 km stage (longest stage of this year's Tour!)

No Lance, but come and root for Team Disco or your favorite pick for the first post-Lance T de F winner...

<>Come after one of the morning rides; you can shower here or dip in the pool to cool off.
If everything works out delivery-wise, we MAY have a hot tub operational by then as well.
(The "pool room" has undergone some modifications and is less "stuffy" with better ventilation!)
If you bring children, they MUST be supervised, especially with regards to the pool.
No lifeguard will be on duty.

Eat and watch the rainbow of jerseys pedal through France (OLN rebroadcast of the morning coverage).

What to bring:

A salad, side dish or dessert.

A cushion if you’d like (limited chair/ couch seating).

Frosty adult beverages.

Swimsuit and towel.

We’ll provide ribs and chicken cooked to perfection on the Big Green Egg.
We’ll also have some veggie burgers or a vegetarian main dish.
A limited selection of beverages will be available. 

RSVP IS NOT REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE PARTY!!!

<>However, if you plan to come, please let us know by July 13 so we can have a
guesstimate for how much meat to get.
(We prefer that you RSVP by e-mail.)
