Back to the Grind...

[Bluetree]

I was at the Time Trial stage in Solvang for the Tour of California. When I talk of cycling heaven, it's just that it was the only place where cyclists rule... bikes outnumbers cars 3-1, everyone around seemed fit and happy, everything around had to do with cycling... roadies everywhere. I'd be standing there, get tapped on the shoulder and hear, "Excuse me." And the next thing I know it's Christian Vandevelde rolling by. Or Luca Paolini. Or Thor Hushovd... Or, you get the picture. Lots of freshly shaved legs to look at!

As for the cute mechanic, he has my number but he lives out a suitcase, traveling from race to race all over the US and Europe. Probably won't see him again.

wow. That sounds really cool Thanks for the explanation.
I wondered how you managed to have photos of all the bike stars.
When we were in Corvallis Oregon for the tandem rally we outnumbered the cars too. But there were no famous people there.

PS care to share a baby horse picture?

Mimi, this one is having his first look at a 20-acre pasture... just a few days old...!

Trek, I brought two cameras with me, and I think Stuey is on Camera No. 2. Don't worry, I'll post!

Soooooooo cute.

Blue - I'm glad you had a good vacation. But I'm also glad to see you back.

Thanks for all the hottie pics.

...everyone around seemed fit and happy ....

Funny you should mention that.

The last time my husband and I were in Solvang, a few months ago, we couldn't help but notice how a great many of tourists were extremely fat, much more so than the norm for California at any rate.

This time, on the day of the Time Trial, we noticed that most of the spectators milling about appeared to be quite fit.
