GOING PAST
Today is the
7000 cyclists participate in five tours, 5, 10, 25 50 and 100 miles.
The final leg goes down the street that is just outside the back of our condo. All day. Cyclists. 7000!
For the serious riders this is the pump it out place. It is not a race but I know they are doing it for time.
There is more talk and shouting than I would have expected had I thought about it.
A lot of group energy which we can feel right through the hedges that separate us from the street.
This race started 13 years ago with 300 cyclists and has gotten bigger and bigger from the very start. I don't think they expected such a serious, big time outcome.
People come from all over.
And, of course, spend money, along with the friends and family who came along with them.
They go by in clumps. It has been going on all day. First the 5,s then the 10s and so on.
I think now we are seeing the 100s.
Here are the courses.
We are having great weather for this.
Good for them.
