This was my second RTR too, and like you, noticed the vehicles much more this year (last year was my first.)
The ride was incredible - thought I would tip over on the climbs the last day!
Did you win the Cane Creek wheels??? I heard them call your name - almost missed our shuttle to Denver trying to win them! I demo'ed them on the day we rode from Chama to Alamosa. They were incredible on those climbs. I'm seriously thinking about buying a pair. They were really stiff and fast. Beat me up a little bit on those bumpy county roads outside of Alamosa, but they made up for it with speed. You'll love them!

I was there when you won the wheels too! Remember to pick up both wheels next time!
Do you realize that you were standing about 15 ft from me!
The only cars allowed going to Royal Gorge was for the para-cyclists. There was more traffic east of Alamosa because the major east-west road in that area was closed because of the forest fire around the pass.
Also, maybe some of the private sags were riders that were riding part of the route then having the sag pick them up or switching places.
