That's what Lyne and Marie-France do when they get on a boat usually, so the dramamine is being called in big-time. They were told today that 90% of the people on the boat trip last year spent a considerable amount of time hanging off the side. 36hrs in a rough Mediterranean Sea doesn't sound too appealing.
I just spoke to Lyne this morning and they're ready to get on the boat and take their chances. They've got most of the stickers on the truck and have bought a few last minute things while in France. Lyne said that while picking up the truck near Albertville yesterday that she was aching to get on a bike and ride. It was sunny and warm and the Alps were beautiful so it was hard to keep driving south towards the coast. It's a different trip for Lyne in many ways, she's been to Europe a couple dozen times now and it's always been because of a bike. This is a great transition from years of competing at a high level, down to road-tripping with a friend little responsibility as to where and when she needs to be.
The Gazelles website has made "La Poste" available to send messages to the racers. Here's the link to where you can send something to 4X4 Team #100. They'll get the messages each day when they get to the overnight stops. Mom, go ahead, wear out that printer that the organization brought out to the desert!
I'll get some photos going on here sometime soon...

PS. Good luck girls!
