Gah, tell me about it ! I always freak when the riders wend their way through the crazed crowds in the mountain finishes, and I'm constantly amazed when they make it through intact.

There's aways a nit or two or twenty who think it's cool to stand right in their paths to snap a photo and jump away at the very last moment. I cannot fathom how the riders can cope with that, they must be in some sort of zen-like state of concentration.
