Day Zero

I don't think I slept more than 2 hrs last night...This two-year trip-in-planning on which I'm about to embark is here--it's REALLY here.  Dude...

Packing for this next week a bit longer than anticipated these past couple days, not sure if that was due to heightened excitement & adrenalin or over-analytical thinking of everything on my prep list; guess I'll just chalk it up as both & split the difference. :-P  I would say, however, after hundreds or even thousands of miles of Meistersinger chorus travels & Air Force travels, I've got this down!

Stage 7 of the Tour today took the peloton into the beginning of the Alps stages where our Thompson group will be riding; even with the rain-soaked landscape creating both excitement & challenge for the pro riders, it's also inviting to think THOSE are the mountains & valleys we'll be riding across this next week----insert big grin on Lane's face here. :-)
