A friend of mine will be the motorcycle lead for the Vail Time Trial on the 25th. He's very excited for the opportunity.

[Tedzo]

I'll be in Vail for the uphill ITT. We are going to hang around at the start and watch from there.

[flyingdog]

Nice..best part for me...I'll be able to sit on the front porch and watch em fly by during stage 6.

Whelp..Prologue is in the books. Looks like many of the riders are not quite as acclimated to this altitude as they thought. And.....it's all "uphill" from here. LOL

Oh yea...you noticed how everyone has substituted acclimate with the word.. climatised? Always thought you climatised a building and acclimated the body. Oh well..just an observation.

Gotta love the sites' [B]Shack TourTracker[B]. No Commercials!!.

Well..kinda...going to Shack TourTrack and going full screen, the commercials play, but only the audio in the background. Because of the live-feed, you still see the race. Guess that's why God invited the mute button.

WoW! Stage 2 just finished. Mother Nature (aka: NO AIR).. kicked some serious booty. Least Levi Leipheimer didn't fall as the Schleck brother's.

I think it is because the European riders couldn't say "acclimated". I heard one of the Schleck brothers struggling with it, before giving up

[flyingdog]

Oh..no doubt. Was funny. (In a light-hearted way). Kinda like nodding your head talking to a stutterer. Bobb'n for the word for the word to get out. How bout that 8 bike pile up shortly after the start of yesterdays' start. I'm totally surprised nobody picked up that skinny tires and cattle grates don't mix. Gads..that made me pucker.
