  • I slept in a little this morning so I rode down Market into work because that's the fastest way.  Why am I looking forward to the lifecycle this year??




    Because of the awesome roadies who treat us so right.  This picture was from day 1.  last year.  All of the volunteers staffing the rest stop dressed up like Dolly Parton.  Amazing.  That's a whole lotta tantalizing top heavy temptresses.  Here's me with my friend Michael at the close last year:




    How can I look so impossibly fresh after a long day of biking??  I don't.  I hauled ass all morning and got in at 10AM to my usual LA reception which consisted of irritated volunteers letting me know that they weren't ready yet (now that's hospitality!).  So I rode to the hotel and took a nap and a shower and came back around two when there was a crowd assembled.  The most dangerous part of the lifecycle for me??  The trip back down Wilshire from the hotel to the close.
