Here are some more details of the TdeF from Friday's New York Times.  The
information is not there explicitly, but I've decoded it from the accompanying
map.  I don't guarantee it's correctness - anyone with access to hard facts
please post.  In particular, does anyone have information on which climbs are
on which days in the Alps and Pyrenees stages?  I suspect some of the details
between July 7 and July 12 may not be quite correct.  The article had a few
inconsistencies in it.

July 3   Puy du Fou				Prolog
July 4   Lucon -> Les Sables d'Olonne
July 5   Les Sables d'Olonne -> Vannes
July 6   Vannes -> Dinard
July 7   Dinard -> Avranches			85km TTT
July 8   Avranches -> Evreux
July 9   Evreux -> Amiens
July 10  Peronne -> Chalons sur Marne
July 11  Chalons sur Marne -> Verdun
July 12  Verdun -> Lac de Madine		65km ITT
July 13  Rest day (air transfer to Grenoble)
July 14  Villard de Lans -> Serre Chevalier
July 15  Serre Chevalier -> Isola
July 16  Isola -> Marseille
July 17  Marseille -> Montpelier
July 18  Montpelier -> Perpignan
July 19  Perpignan -> Andorra
July 20  Rest day
July 21  Andorra -> St Lary-Soulan
July 22  Tarbes -> Pau
July 23  Orthez -> Bordeaux
July 24  (rail transfer to Bretigny sur Orge)
July 24  Bretigny sur Orge -> Montlhery		55km ITT
July 25  Viry-Chatillon -> Paris

Mountain stages:
As best as I can piece together from maps etc. the following climbs will be
included.  Please correct or add to as soon as more details become available. 
(btw: a plea for this year's postings - please use kilometers (km) for 
horizontal distance and meters (m) for vertical height.  Real(tm) cyclists are
metric.)

July 14		Col du Glandon		1924m
		Col du Galibier		2556m
July 15		Col de Vars		2111m
		Col de Restefond	2802m
		Isola 2000		2000m
July 19		Port d'Envalira		2407m
July 21		Puerto de la Bonaigua	2072m
		Col de Peyresourde	1569m
July 22		Col du Tourmalet	2115m
		Col d'Aubisque		1709m
