I would find the crowds at times more inconvenient than anything. Being in North America we don't have the absolute insane fan base europeans have. They are just ******** in the way they display their love for a team. I don't like soccer but that is a good example. Same with one of the legs in the tdf. The fans were close enough to lance to give him a shot in the head and to live near any of that. Jeez. I live in whistler and love to party but that is nuts.
