I never did see a "VIP" seating area, watched both races, walked the entire track too. I think I saw Tom and Zoot, I guess. Did you tie your bikes up at the pointy end of the course? I saw someone with tee shirt like that, milk carton, sorry I didn't just say hi. It was the end of the race, and everyone was heading out. Couldn't do the bar tonight, so went home. They were great races. I quite enjoyed them. Bernie yep. You probably did see us. Ryan was there too. We were lookin' for you but didn't know what you look like. Wish you'd have said hi. -- zk Hey me too. Bernie |

I hung around the pointy end for about 20 min and didn't see anyone who I could recognize. I was wearing my bright red Campy jersey that everyone thinks is a Cambells soup ad...too bad I missed you. Well, if you'd said what you were going to wear beforehand, we could have hunted you down. There was a big RBM chalked on the sidewalk where Tom was standing when I showed up around six. We didn't run down Ryan until after the first Guiness. The crowd seemed only half as large this year. I heard 28,000. The promotion of the event was spotty and IMO, insufficient. I think there were more teams this year though. My biggest disappointment was the poster being insignificantly different from last year's. -- zk Next event I'll hold a sign like greeters at the airport. Bernie |

Bummer. That was largely my fault: we arrived downtown late, and ended up just barely getting there before the start of the Women's race. The VIP area turned out to not exist. I did have fun meeting up with Zoot and Tom, and then I had to bum out because my wife wasn't feeling so good (note to self: view next race stag). But, good racing, eh?

For her own safety? Probably wasn't neccessary, because all those racer types were pretty much kept away from the spectators. The odd one or two tried to break loose, but they were quickly herded back to their own area, and put to work on trainers or doing warmup laps to keep their attention off any distractions. If any racers actually did break through, there was plenty of security around to tazer them back into line. Come to think of it, the staff did a wonderful job of keeping the racers under control. I guess they're unsung heroes. I bet the chix really dig race staff guys. cheers, Tom -- -- Powered by FreeBSD Above address is just a spam midden.
