Hey Kareem, I believe we are close to the same height, sooooo I might be willing to do the ride for you if you'd like me to test your new TDF roadie on the climbs!

Ahhh... I knew Beanz would try to concoct a reason to take my sweetheart for a spin. Au contraire, mon frère you see... you are all legs, I am all torso which would make the reach/drop on my bike too long for you. Nice try though

Why don't you come along for the ride? We can carpool together to save gas.

Hunh? I'm not all legs. Long torso, 6'1 with 32 inseam, not all legs! Ummm, I ride a Lemond! Besides, riders don't ride the drops on climbs!

I'm not strong enough to do the ride or I would!

If Beanz can't do this ride then there's no way in heckfire i'm even remotely ready for this thing. Therefore I concede to SAG support, at least I can feel somewhat part of the ride.

Any chance anyone has magnetic signage for an official SAG car?
Ooooo! Excellent! We can pretend we are Rock Racing ******bags getting SAGed by a sinister blingy black car.





As opposed to just regular everyday ******bags.

Tempting as that sounds, I have a feeling you'll be there long after I'm done and I can't be gone all day. I will try to bring someone down with me.

No, it's still available. You just have to be willing to earn it by fighting through the bees.

Ready? Maybe!

So where is the overflow parking anyway? As per the weather: should I bring some arm/leg warmers for the morning or the Palomar mt. will keep me warm enough? Since we got the support vehicle I'm planning to bring whole bag of sh*t that I may need.

PS I hope that we have some good mechanic in our group as I'm having some issues with my front derailleur
