LOTOJA at montpelier 9-8-07

While we wait for the "official" first hand reports of the LOTOJA race, here are a few of the pictures I took with the new camera at Montpelier. I am still trying to figure out how to use it , how to download the images, how and where to store them, how to retrieve them, etc. I hope all of this frustration is a real preventative for Alzheimer's disease - I would hate to have it go to waste.

The line-up of support, moral and literal, groups along the highway.

Kristin waiting for the action to start with musette bag in hand.

In spite of various ailments, pains, frustrations, and challenges I think the final word was that everyone almost enjoyed it. Congratulation!

  3. John - you'll have to ask Mac and Sam about the "BB" on the flag stands for. I think it was some sort of a code to help inspire their dad.

  4. BB = Bring it on Baby.... I'm looking like a squirrel getting ready for the winter (and some say I have lost a little weight, not in that photo) However did you all notice Lance Armstrong in the Dicovery kit next to Kurt and me? (or it it Kip from Napoleon Dynamite?) How about that hoggie????

  5. Wow, Kip really worked up an appetite on his ride to Montpelier.

    Thanks everyone for being there (and in Preston Bill)! Montpelier is nicer when you recognize at least one person at the feed zone. Next year's goal is 4 for 4 on support at the feed zones.
