ToC

Did a trip trade to get a Sacramento layover Friday night which put allowed me to see up close the the first day of the ToC.

Most teams & staff were at our layover hotel and setting up the TT bikes in the morning. I went for a quick 2 hour spin about 9AM and was happy to share the American River trail (up to Folsom Lake) with the likes of Columbia High Road, Rabobank, and a few other assorted racers getting out to loosen the legs.

The thing I noticed that was sorta odd (or maybe not) was that the Rock Racing trailer and support was off by themselves while the whole rest of the other teams were all crowded together and commingling.

Drove downtown about Noon to go through the vendor expo and then got to witness half of the prologue (which started at 1:30). I hope they enjoyed today's weather (cool and blustery) because tomorrow they're all going to be cold & get soaked.
