thank you ALL for sharing in my excitement! It's cool to have somewhere to come where people understand why I'm acting nuts over this...
corsair... how was your time with your dad? hope it was great...
cindysue and tprevost... oh believe me... I will DEFINITELY post the other Hincapie pic... I'm hoping it turned out well enough to bow up and have framed
BikeGoddess... ya know... the Mavic guys really get a kick out of how excited people are about their cars etc... Hector kept taking pictures of people taking pictures of 'em! LOL
snapdragen... no, I'M his number 1 fan... LOL... ok, Adventure Girl and I will share the honor... I tried to find ACG as well... she was out there on the course with a sign as well... but at times we were flying and RIGHT on the tail of the Comm 1 and medic cars... I missed her... I really wanted to get a pic of her in the crowd to share!
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Thanks for asking! We had a great time even though some days we didn't do anything but sit around the house. Of course, now that he's gone back home the highs this week are supposed to be in the upper 60 to lower 70s (he lives in Indiana!) LOL

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

What more can I say...your experience rocked! Thanks for sharing the photos and write up. The photo of you with George is definitely poster worthy! I think I'm shaky now with your excitment. I had noticed from scanning the TE thread headlines that there was this tour going on in distant, far away California, but I haven't had time to read the posts until today. Now I understand the full scope of it!
