I did see a few women running alongside the riders, though they weren't in strange costumes or dragging small children. These questions could apply to a lot of sporting events. I mean, why do guys strip half-naked and paint themselves in team colors for football games in the middle of winter? It's obviously some sort of primal, caveman urge
And my question is: Is anyone else feeling withdrawal symptoms this morning? It's not bad enough I feel this way in August, now I'm gonna feel it at the end of February, too?
