The race is finally here. It was announced about a year ago and the buildup and anticipation have been tremendous. I opted to not attend any of the racing as the crowds are large and I do not like crowds. I have been on some of the roads in the past, including all of the last stage on Sunday around Golden and Denver. Robin and I are touring Colorado by car now and drove through Vail today. It seemed that two of every three cars on the way to Vail had bikes on them. We could see hundreds of riders in Vail going up to the time trial course. Our hotel today did not have Versus so I could not see the race. Bummer.
The CrossRoads Maine to Florida tour starts four weeks from today. We are getting excited to staff the tour. I will ride part of the day, although I hope to ride a full day in southern New Jersey to Delaware. We missed that day in 2008 due to a nor'easter that cancelled the ferry from Cape May to Lewes.
