Another Day of Prep

We spent all of the day getting ready for the race. It starts tomorrow at 5:00pm EST. I can't wait!

Merrill, our amazing bike mechanic spent much of the day going over our bike setup and teaching others the basics of how to fix and maintain bikes while on the road.

Madi, MamaD, and Stacey cooked enough dinner for the next 3 days!! I had a taste of the chili and it was great.

Weezal spent hours upon hours highlighting the route book and inserting route changes. That guy just works.

Peter Ramdial was diligent in documenting all of the days activities on PHillyK's camera. PHillyK is planning on using the footage taken by Peter to make a 20-30minutes "Bonus Feature" to our Documentary Movie when he sells it on DVD.

Fabio, PapaD, and The Goat were all busy with making sure we are ready to roll come tomorrow. There is just so much to do.

We took a bunch of pictures of the riders and support crew....

Tisk, tisk. You'll never become a TdF mechanic clamping the seat tube, bro. :) Then again, I guess the Surly's can take it, and Suga's funny seat post is probably giving you a headache as well.

Peter needs to set PhillyK up with some shots like the first few on this page (http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/subwebraam/blog2x.php?N_webcat_id=87&PHPSESSID=80c4cebcf3310c749608bcb4d35db82b)

All 4 of AFC's bikes cost less than one of the BMC's!
