I just received my volunteer packet in the mail today. I'll be working in the snack bar Friday night in the gymnasium where registration is. I'll be sure to have my camera handy.

One thing interesting I've noticed: for the last three Saturdays, DH and I have ridden our Bike Fridays with four panniers and rack pack each to the farmer's market and food co-op for groceries. We see a lot of roadies out during these rides, and even the serious ones in full team kit tend to wave, sometimes even before we do! ALL the women wave, but even a large % of the men, riding alone or in pairs. I dunno if they respect us because we look like we're traveling across country rather than just across county, or what, but it's interesting that even riding little-wheeled bikes and fully loaded, we get a lot of friendly attention. Kinda nice!

P.S. One (male) cyclist even yelled out "good luck!" - I guess he assumed we were going a bit farther than the 10 more miles home.
