7,000 Riders on 14,000 wheels. PICTURES!

Well...???

So I wake up at 5:05am... get out of bed at 5:20am. Yeah, typical.

I get dressed, skip the shower 'cause I'm late, and hope to find my friend Jason somewhere at the start.

6:15am - Downtown. I call Jason.

ME: "Dude, where ya at? I just arrived at downtown."
Jason: "Aaahh maaaan. I haven't left (home) yet."
ME: ?!?! "Dude! Start time is 7am!"
Jason: (in a slow and monotone voice) "LAAAAATE STAAAAAARRRT. Garland's not here yet. He's riding too. We have 'till 10am, right?"
ME: "Well... yeah I guess."
Jason: "Man... I didn't get off work until 5:30am.
ME: "HAHAHA! That sucks. Well, call me when you leave!"
Jason: "Cool, lates."
ME: "Lates"

Sheesh... not a good way to kick-off an event.

He eventually arrives but we missed each other!!! The whole point of me showing up was to take some picks of him going across the start line! HAHAHAHA!!! Too funny.

At least I saw Worm working the BICAS stand. Hope he shows up tomorrow for the Elephant Head ride. That'll be cool.

There are 22 pictures total. Only 5 are shown. I zipped ALL the pics in one file. It can be downloaded from:
Tour.Zip

Anyway, without further ado.....


7000 Riders!








WORM!!! Pimping the BICAS....



Off to Tempe now! Lates!
