Team CSC announced that they would participate in BR on May 21st. Until
then I had no plan of going to see the race. I will go visit the riders on Sunday,
June 1st. The parcours is between Bad Neustadt a.d.Saale and Erlangen with
a feed zone somewhere between Mühlendorf and Unteraurach. I am planning to
see the start, feed zone and finish if possible.

on it.

Last year I was there to see all the stages. It was great! I enjoyed myself. I enjoyed
painting on the street.

Unfortunately this year I decided not to be there simply because the race is held in
a "too remote" region. Avignon is over 800km from my home. Instead, I decided to 
see Tour de Suisse.
