Top of the King of the Mountain!!Today we were up and on the bus by 0730 on our way to Willunga to watch this stage of the race. Our ride consisted of a 40 km loop with an additional 20km loop which included a KOM hill (king of the mountain hill). The professionals would be doing both loops twice and we had a VIP viewing area located at the start/finish line. Tom and I opted to do the first 40 km loop and also did the KOM which started the second loop. In total we did 51.9 km!! The KOM was a killer but we made it. The picture above is us at the top of the KOM.
Tonight’s dinner was a suit and tie event (being true to Portlander’s we were semi-casual). They called it “Legends’ Night Dinner” and it included Phil Liggett, Paul Sherwin, and of course Lance Armstrong. The guest list was 2000 but it included a fancy steak diner, dessert, and your choice of unlimited alcoholic beverages…..who could ask for a better night? Anyway we had a blast and for those of you curious, even though we are with trek travel (the bike Lance rides) no autographs from Lance.
