It's true about Floyd...

[Bluetree]

... he DOES have really large hands. :D

(This was at the velodrome this morning)

[SouthernBelle]

I was about to get upset...

Was he riding? How's his hip?

[Bluetree]

Floyd wasn't riding today, but he said his hip was just fine. I didn't want to bug him too much since he was just hanging out with his buddies.

David Zabriskie was going to attempt a world record for track/one hour, but he said they ran into 'technical difficulties'. He's such a cutie, even if his hair was sprouting out in every direction. That's not very aero, is it?

Is That You, Blue??? Floyd Touched You??

[Tri Girl]

JUST STOP!!! I'm so jealous!!! :D
How cool is it that you got to see David and Floyd???? Wow- pretty cool!
Thanks for posting the pics!
Too cool..... (wiping drool off my chin).

[han-grrl]

thats too cool!!!

[mimitabby]

I am jealous too. I'd love to give Floyd a big hug. The other fellow,
he's just too cute!

[Bikingmomof3]

Ok, I have to add my own "Oooh, you're so lucky, I'm so jealous!!" to this list. Floyd and DZ are definitely my favorite pro riders, as much for their personalities as for their riding ability. Did you see much goofiness? How was the racing? Ya gotta tell us more!

Excellent photos, by the way, Bluetree. Have you gotten them framed yet??

[jobob]

very nice!! :D

[caligurl]

LOOK AT YOU! i'm SO jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you GO, GURL!

[Bluetree]

It was fun. Floyd seemed like a very warm, friendly guy. David seemed a bit shy, but he's like that in all the interviews I've seen.

DZ is one of my faves. On a bike, that man is perfection... watching him in a time trial is like watching living art. (In horse terms, we'd call him a 'beautiful mover')

I did forget to ask him one thing -- as always seems the case :mad:
I wanted him to send a message back to the Cervelo guys... make smaller bikes! Honestly, I'd love to buy a Cervelo tri bike, but the standover/bike wedgie thing makes it a no-go. Hey Cervelo... not everyone is 6 feet tall! ** sigh **
(In the picture, the reason I'm standing behind DZ is because he had to bend his knees quite a bit to get his face near mine. Floyd is not a tall guy, but I was wearing boots with a 3-inch wedge heel!)

[NJBikeGal]

I'm not much for jealousy in life...but this time... ;) You got to meet DaveZ! You lucky duck! I just adore the guy (hence the avatar!)...what a racer! Not to mention that you also got to meet Floyd...that would be a day to write down in my books!

:)

[bikerchick68]

oh my gosh!!! Tell me your framing those pics! how cool is that??? the pics are great... glad you got to meet and reallllly glad you shared the pics! They were SO lucky to meet you :D

[spokewench]

Wow Bluetree what a day! Hope you had fun talking to the boys:D

[Hub]

Oh my gosh- that's SO cool!

And I thought it was cool when I met Ernie at ChainWheel in Little ROck. He was a professional cyclist, now he works for Orbea. He actually rode in the
Tour de Georgia with Lance.

I have so got to get a life!

Congrats Blue-

Peace on Earth & Good will to beagles

[jeannierides]

What awesome pics! Add me to the list of jealous ones!!;) I think they are both hotties!

[Offthegrid]

If you meet Lance, too, I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you. ;) :D :p ;) :p

[Susan126]

If you meet Lance, too, I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you. ;) :D :p ;) :p

Yes, me too! I would have to kill you too! Great pictures of you and Floyd! How awesome!

I did have my picture taken with Bob Roll two Seattle Bike Expos ago (2005). I would post it but my mug shot is horrible. My husband asked me what kind of face is that?! It looks like you're in pain or something! LOL I told him I wasn't ready when he snapped the picture and it's apparent! :p

[Bluetree]

If you meet Lance, too, I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you. ;) :D :p ;) :p

If I met Lance you wouldn't have to kill me, because I probably wouldn't be alive anyway.
