Well, that wasn't us. We stayed on the sidewalk. Cheered all who rode by (including some who were locals commuting, some campers hauling panniers, and ... well, just anybody on a bike). Also chatted with folks in a couple of support vehicles, who smiled, waved, even thanked us for coming out to cheer. When "our" rider found us, she immediately lifted her bike up onto the sidewalk for a chat. We were also at a spot where we could get back on the freeway without driving along the ride route. So no interference with the bike lane. Just smiles all around. We took lots of pics, and some asked if they'll be posted. It finally occurred to me to say I'd find a way to post them and put a note on my sister's page -- rider 4223 (UK's rider number is harder to remember). So I'll need to coordinate that with Trek next week.

Fingers crossed that Trek's foot is fine tomorrow!
