I think that some friends and I are going to go up to SF for the Prologue, i will post any photos I get (as long as they are decent!) Haven't decided if I am going to skip school on Wed to go to stage 3... I guess it depends on how much work I get done

Actually, we're riding out from Northridge to Moorepark on Saturday to watch these guys climb.

My plans were to take the kids out of school on Tuesday and see them come into Sacramento. Unfortunately the kids have been sick for most of this week and so they cant afford another day off school.
No TV at my house so Im relying on you guys for lots of pics and stories pleeease.The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

I'll of course be in Santa Rosa for Stage 1 & 2. I've got two "bike race" newbies I will be turning into fans. One of them, my sister, is already half way there. I took her to the Team BMC launch party and she's already picked out her favorite --she mentioned something about having him autograph a body part. We'll also be handing bikes back at the valet bike parking on Monday. I may make it down for stage 3, but that's iffy at this point.
Edited to ask: Has anybody seen a roster with bib numbers yet?Last edited by Deanna; 02-16-2007 at 04:12 PM.

Sorry girls, I've been sick... It's been a week!
Anyway, we are flying up late tonight. I wanted to go to the prologue but also need to see my ailing great aunt. She is a treasure to me (and the town of sonoma as well) and I know we won't have much more time with her.
I would like to go out to coleman valley rd, but I know my husband will want to be in Santa Rosa to cruise around the booths and such.
We have to hit the road by 3:30 for the airport, so we'll pretty much watch them finish and run for the car.
Anyhoo, ya'll know what I look like. I'll be sure to wear my IMAZ finishers hat so you could recognize me by that.
Can't wait to get some good cycling mojo!! After the week I had I NEED it!!!

OK SadieKate-
We must have been standing right next to eachother at the CSC tent, sorry I didn't see you. Your photo is much better than mine! I will get some of my photos posted later today. Spent a little bit of time down at the start, and then my friends and I climbed the Filbert St. steps to the top of Telegraph hill, so I have quite a few photos from just before the 100m mark. Most of them have very blurry riders going past, but I got a nice one of DZ walking down the steps after racing. Sigh....
It was a ton of fun, that is for sure, and man those guys can climb!
Will post photos later.
E.
