The finish today WAS EXCITING! We didn't get pictures, although DH did get some video with his camera. Those guys went zipping past on our side and I didn't want to have ANYTHING happen to one of them with our camera. I thought it was great that the crowd waited for the very last guy to come in.

DH rode a portion of this stage (Cherryville to Rolla) and said it was TOUGH; there really isn't ONE flat area...at all...ever. They made it look easy.

Uforgot, are you going to St. James at all? I have to teach (couldn't today since they used my classroom for interviews and such!!), but I think DH is going to go to get George's autograph for me. I have several students that asked to skip class to go....yeah, I let them...as long as they bring pictures back. They're all in the cycling club and are on the human powered vehicle team as well, so.... Besides, I think it's important for them to go since they have the chance and it's so close.
