Before the tour started I read about this and thought it would be cool but was beyond what I could do..But I decided to ride every day..Tomorrow will be 30 straight days of an hour each morning..with 10 or 12 evening hours thrown in..I started in the dry and finished in the rain twice..Rode on wet roads one other time..Had 2 flats. outsprinted several dogs..almost got hit by cars twice, Rode 500 miles, lost 8 lbs (30 total since september).. Most mornings I watched a little of that day's stage then hit the streets and got back for the finish. Whenever I thought of being a little uncomfortable I thought of Tyler's arm or Cadel's elbow. Next year I will do a more righteous mimic.

Glad you had fun, the most important thing....and lost weight to boot. No need to wait till next July, do your own little Veulta in late August-September.
