Scott Christopher, founder of Experience the Tour, has been a passionate Pro Tour fan for over 25 years. Having retired from the "corporate world", Scott pursues his interests in cycling, skiing and traveling.
Scott's cycling passion grew during the early 1980s in Boulder, Colorado where he raced, achieving category 2 status in a very competitive field. As the Outreach Program Manager for the non-profit, Bicycle Colorado, Scott is very connected to the cycling community. He continues to race, tour and commute.
A self-proclaimed math geek, Scott enjoys figuring gear ratios, miles to kilometer conversions, exchange rates, and anything cycling that has to do with numbers. He has an encyclopedic memory for Pro Tour trivia and is happy to talk with anyone about the Pro Tour and everything cycling. The 2009 TdF will be his 10th Tour.
Sue Lloyd has been riding a bike; racing, touring and commuting since 1980. She has a degree in kinesiology/exercise science from the University of Colorado, as well as a Master's degree in Education from the University of Northern Colorado. When not riding her bike in France, she teaches middle school gifted and talented students.
As an active member of her bike club, Colorado Bicycle Racing Association for Seniors (COBRAS), Sue plans and leads training rides and participates in local races. In 2002 she was a member of the U.S. team competing at the World Duathlon Championships.
In France, Sue is especially fond of the climbs of the Pyrenees. Her favorite part of the 2007 Tour was catching yellow jersey holder Fabian Cancellara's water bottle from him at a feed station on the course.
