    we'll be there starting tuesday. DH and i are doing trektravel so we do a ride in the morning and then i guess they find us a place to sit and watch the race. i'm not sure how it all works, but they take care of everything. even give us new madones to ride. they also transport the bikes and luggage to each destination. we are so stoked!!!!! i'll be checking in on TE every day so maybe when i know more whats going on and how it all works i can contact some of youall and we can meet up. cant wait!

    Thanks Sarah. This is going to be a pretty special long weekend- DH has never been to California or anywhere west of Las Vegas. Unfortunately, I won't have computer access after tomorrow so I won't know if any TErs are around unless our hotel has one

    I am pretty excited about the rosters that have been released, should be a site to see.

    Laurie- Your trip sounds amazing! Take lots of pictures?

    I'm so jealous of all of you!!! I can't wait to hear the details and follow along and pretend I'm there. If life were a bit less hectic right now, I may have cashed in some frequent flier miles and headed out. I was in France in 04 and watched a stage of the tour and it was so exciting and now I'd love to see many more stages of many more races. So many travels to do, so little time and money.

    Hi everyone -

    This was posted to my club's e-list:

    ---------------------------------

    Sunday, February 17th, 6:30pm

    Meet-and-Greet
    at the Mountain View Chipotle with members of professional cycling team
    Slipstream/Chipotle. After the prologue in the afternoon, Team members
    will be at Chipotle giving out and signing team swag.

    There will also
    be a raffle that night, for a prize package including a Felt Bicycles cruiser
    bike, Burritos-for-a-Year from Chipotle, and an official Team
    Slipstream/Chipotle jersey.

    We saw Chris Horner speak at a fundraiser on Wednesday night - he is super funny and sharp as a tack. What great stories he had. Super good guy.

    Turns out we will be in Santa Rosa on Monday instead of Coleman. We'll walk up to see them go by our house on their way up Mt. Tam, and the hop in the car and go up for the finale. One of my team mates gets to present the third place winner with his award medal!! Super cool! (The mayor gets to give the first place award.)
