Where's Waldo?
Last night Chris brought home the DVDs for this year’s Paris-Roubaix and Ghent-Wevelgem. We watched the two sectors of pave on DVD that we saw in person, and played everyone’s favorite game – did we make the video?And the answer is…yes. In one aerial shot you can see Chris with his enormous white Chrome Bag making the dash from Sector 18 to Sector 16. In another aerial shot you can see me trying to get a picture of the lead group entering Sector 16. (Have I mentioned lately how much I HATE our digital camera?) And further on Sector 16 you can see Chris on the side of the road while a guy with a huge Belgian separatist flag runs next to Tom Boonen’s lead group. In not one of the shots would anyone be able to recognize us without knowing what we were wearing and where we were standing. But we know. In addition, since Chris rode from sector 17 (The Arenberg Forest) to the end, there's also the coolness of his being able to say "I rode that! And it suuuuucked!"
Tonight we’ll watch the Cysoing/Café L’Arbre sections of cobbles, and probably the Velodrome. We’ll see if we make an appearance again.

sweet. I did the same thing looking for pictures of me in everying cycling mag after ss worlds last year. That's great.
So cool that you made the DVD. It seems like a universal thrill to discover that your own image has popped up in something, doesn't it? I don't know anybody who doesn't check out coverage this way. Good for you.
On a much more somber note: have you seen the latest article about the Landis B test? Not good news for Floyd. It's here on Yahoo News:

First thing I did this AM is go to www.cnn.com. Sigh, such bad news on Floyd.
