Jobob- You are a saint! I was doing inventory just a mile away! BUT I'm a course marshal for the beginning of Stage 2 tomorrow so I'll get to see them as well. You really made the race real for me and I hope others here. Thank you so much!

For those of you who don't get the SF Chronicle, the report from the riders was that they REALLY appreciated all the noise from the spectators even tho they couldn't acknowledge it at the time. Kuddos to everyone who could come to cheer one these great riders!

I'm riding over to Martinez for my volunteering so I may not have a camera. Others in my club will, so I should be able to get some good shots from them (I'll be busy to say the least).

Yes, I understand these guys are really small. Wouldn't have guessed from seeing them on bikes!!!!
