Stage 8










I showed up take in the madness and watch the race. There was a big crowd with great energy and I even manged to get a couple good shots. You couldn't get to the finish line, unless you wanted to spend $200 on Vip tickets or you were on the ubiquitous "list". Even my Wednesday lounging smock, proved ineffective. It's powers proved insufficient at breaching security, aided by the fact that none of the personal seemed to be readers of bikesnob's blog. Unlike say Lance, who if I was standing in front of, probably would have asked about my shirt. After all to him it would look like I was wearing his shirt. I would then have been able to proceed with conducting an exclusive interview. At least that's what I tell myself anyways.

How do I get a Seal tshirt??

that's a tough one, because they're not actually for sale. Bikesnob was nice enough to send me seal of disapproval Wednesday lounging smock, some time after I made the PSA for him. But I guess that adds to their mystic because not just anyone can get one.
