[...] for another wedding. It all adds up to Too Much Fun. It was lovely, of course – the jamon iberico, watching the Vuelta a Espana’s last time trial, seeing cousins I hadn’t seen in (literally) decades, participating in weddings I wouldn’t have [...]

Thanks all for the happy birthday wishes!

Jim, AWESOME POST. I can not, however, understand why you are washing the socks. You’re not planning to ride in them, are you? Very, very cool to have stage-winner socks. Anxiously awaiting your return to check them out in-person.

On a related note, I sat on Jan Ullrich’s TT bike in the start village of the Gaillac TT at the 2003 Tour. I gave his security guard an (awesome, I assume) sandwich I was carrying and he let me lift and poke at his bike. And then he let me sit on it while he held it up for me. Never saw Der Jan, though. I assume my sitting on the bike is why he won, of course. His bars were crazy low.

Were they ‘Dopers Suck’ socks Jim? Soaking them will never get them clean…

Happy birthday big man.

Holy Shiet. That is a proper post from our on-site writer. And he writes well from the beer garden, that’s our boy. I watched online today but couldn’t pick out my friends as the camera made all the crowds a blur but the riders were hauling the ass. Glad to see Millar received a Toledo sword, a useful gift. Once Fabian C. leaves the race mere mortals can compete in a time trial. All right JTIII.
And happy birthday Frank.
