While at our Alpine basecamp in Grenoble for this year's Tour, hotel parking was one of my biggest challenges. The entire process of parking usually took 15-20 minutes on a good day. Firstly, we had to squeeze our van into an elevator that lowered our vehicle into the underground garage. Once in the actual parking garage, then the routine was to have Chuck guide and direct me to one of the open slots. Again, not much room for error in any of the 3 dimensions we had to work with. Honestly, this was the most stressful part of the trip. I was generally sweat-drenched and quite exhausted after this 20 minute ordeal. See for yourself...
Success!!
Our daily ritual. Chuck keeping me calm and guiding me in. Despite his best efforts, my driving wreaked havoc on the hotel foam that lined the ceiling. I will not divulge the name of the hotel for fear of being asked for damage compensation.Bis später
