OPEN HOUSE PHOTOS-Saturday Ride
Well . . . FINALLY . . . I have gotten some of the open house photos processed and ready to post. This is the Saturday ride, when it was 91 degrees, about a zillion percent humidity, and by the time I got done I felt like someone had stuck a giant hose right into my chest and sucked out all the energy. I took my little film rangefinder along, and this is the result of trying to shoot while riding, Scooter01 trying to shoot me while we were riding, and trying to shoot backwards while holding the camera over my head and riding. I think the results were pretty good, considering that after the first 10 miles in this heat, I was borderline delirious.
I will be posting more over the next few days when I have the time, from the Sunday ride, the auction, the Friday night Phinney dinner, etc. This first one is Scooter there in the middle, and Bradford on the left. BBDave

Here’s me . . .
. . . in the Zebra stripes of the day. I find that the ’03 stripes are bolder than the ’02 version, and therefore even MORE annoying!

Before the ride . . .
. . . and if you look closely, you can see Kiefel either telling a story or picking a fight with everyone--I’m not sure which.

Before the ride . . .
. . . and the Knights Of The Road are ready to sally forth. That’s Ron Kiefel there on the left, Bruce K in the middle, and on the right is Mitch from NYC, who told me this was his first serious riding since coming back from hip surgery rehab. He did pretty d@mn good.

Before the ride . . .
Kelly Bedford tries desperately to conceal his stomach. Not sure why . . . The jersey sure looks nice, though. He told me it’s a one-off, a demo model he ended up getting because it was an XL.

My Dream Girl! . . . .
We stopped at the truck stop by the freeway and I spied this hot mama raiding the soft drink cooler and just HAD to have my photo taken with her! But it went sour quickly . . . when I tried to strike up a conversation, she muttered, “What a CLOWN!” and stalked out of the store. Sigh . . .

Davis and ??? . . .
What can I say? We’re riding with BOTH a TdF stage winner (Davis) and a Giro stage winner (Ron). I don’t know who SHE was, but I figured if she was with HIM I better stay away!

Me again!
The Queen Bee looked absolutely RESPLENDENT! Tired of my zebra stripes? Too bad! It’s my thread!

Hey BBDave!!!
You still owe me $10 for setting you up, and snapping the photo of you with your "Dream Girl".
Fork it over or I'll pay you a visit....with the Basset. She hasn't done a good "whack" lately and she's gettin ancy. "Swimming with the milk Bones" as she says (hey, she's the boss, she can make up any saying she wants ). William |

BBdave,
Great photos. Wish I could have made it. The bronchitis has finally left my body and today I got on the bike for the first time in two weeks. I will make it next year. Kevin
