I'm going to stay in the town of Bourg d'Oisan which is pretty much at the base of Alpe d'Huez. Apparently there is a huge roadie culture there and also the main language is Dutch! Should be good.
Dude.. sounds like you're having an awesome time! I hope you brought a camera with you! I'd love to see some photos. Maybe a Danhalen Family Vacation style slideshow?
I've always wanted to do that after a vacation.
Like Patty and Selma on The Simpsons. hehehe.
Also, La Bicicletta is carrying Rapha for "good" prices (
http://www.labicicletta.com/edatcat/...category=Rapha).. eg. bib shorts direct from rapha website in ukp = £120 = $256 cdn. From La Bicicletta? $228. So, probably doesn't make sense to buy stuff there and send it back. Although they also have $195usd listed on the website, which is only $205cdn. I'm confused!
In fact, $205 doesn't seem totally outrageous for high-end bibs. Pearl-Izumi Aerosensor Bibs are listed on the P-I website for $180usd.
edit: also, here's one of the Rapha-Condor track bikes:
