King of the Mountain

Here's my cycling buddy, Scott Thompson, at the summit of the Col de la Madeleine. He recently climbed several of the Cols of the 2007 Tour de France route. His climbs included Cormet de Roselend, the Colombiere, the Courcheval Altiport, the Telegraph and Col du Galibier, and the Madeleine. While many of us watched on TV, Scott watched from the saddle of his bike as the kilometers peeled away and the roads rose towards the heavens.

Congratulations Scott and I hope you brought a KOM jersey home to celebrate your success in the mountains!
