PROLOGUE - the race is on

The weather here in Santa Rosa is cool and crisp, the grey overcast didn't clear until early in the afternoon. The computer is humming away on the Sprint wireless card spewing live video from the PROLOGUE south of here in Palo Alto. Its just amazing that without wires, here in the country, I can see the race "as it happens!" Its just like watching TV, except that instead of commercial breaks, I have pixelation, pauses and strange artifacts. Actually AMGEN is doing their best to remind us of their sponsorship (and sell us stuff.)

As the standings change, with the super speed demons still to come, I assemble my Bike Friday to get some road time in in the neighborhood that will soon see the field in the flesh - when STAGE ONE comes to town in tomorrow afternoon.
