(Initial) Top Ten LaTour De LaTonka Memories

10. Richie flying on Stage 20; Richie flatting on Stage 21.
9. The somewhat regular warning shout of "horseshit!" to the peloton.
8. Bleary eyes upon arrival in the morning.
7. Frosty having a Heiny Light waiting before I was off the bike!
6. Johnny Mac taking the first K.O.M.; Johnny Mac plotting his s**t strategy for the last 16 stages.
5. The great attitude of everyone while we BAKED...even with a 2-hour time overrun.
4. Holding Turner's wheel...sometimes.
3. Henry's outstanding scoring and support assistance.
2. The volunteers...Ali, Ali, Hunter, Tic, Afib Rider, and Tracey.

...and the no.1 Latour de LaTonka memory is...

1. THE PAIN!

  1. Isn't it amazing that the team with the2 guys who made the rosters won the tour? Something seems a little fishy. Next year Sam is on Ag3r team and we're gonna destroy all of your hopes for a repeat.

    P.S.-thanks for a great time:)

  2. Sammy being there next year is the great equalizer...lookout...although this year a Rogers/Hopkins led team was nothing to sneeze at! Early indications are that 2010 will see an Ag3r vs. Kranicks matchup!!! And perhaps 3 instead of 2 teams...
