california update number one

day two just finishing here in Sacramento. Racing starts tomorrow in Nevada city, with stage one finishing here in Sacramento. Arrived Friday from Ottawa, and have spent the past day and a half building, tuning, and prepping bikes. Riders all have their bikes, which are to become spares, as they all received new rides for the race, plus new TT bikes to be assembled for the stage 6 tt. Add a couple of spares, and we're well over 25 bikes, for 8 riders, not including all the spare wheels, and so on and so forth. So business aside, its been good, excellent staff, great bunch of riders, everyone is primed for a good week, and hopefully a good result to add to it.
I think we have the largest bus of all the teams, will confirm that one, but its large, and wrapped in team logos.
Racing in the big time starts tomorrow. I am excited for it, although I have to say, even breakfast this morning was thrilling, seeing the likes of Tom Boonen, Marc Cavendish, Andy Schleck, George Hincapie, Bjarne Riis, Fabian Cancellara, and lots more, pure cool.
will add more as the week goes on.
