Calm before the storm

Thursday night was the last night with a decent meal until the 22nd. Weather was partly cloudy but cold and windy. Everyone is here now. Lance is at my hotel. Friday is solid meetings from 8:00am until 10:30pm. There are now 1,000 people moving with the race each day. Over 30 hours of live TV to 200 countries.

Velonews now claims that the ATOC is now part of the big four races.
Indeed it is. SAC is a pretty cool place. Some good eats (see below)and the people cannot be any nicer.
