Tracy looks fine and I think she as recovered from her operation as she almost crushed me when she hugged me at the pier.
I saw Rick again this year. This is his 15th year doing this and he told me that as long as he can ride a bike he is going to do this every year.
Tom D and his wife Robyn will provide support. As in 2009, Denver played the Lakers in the basketball playoffs and lost (Sorry Tom). However, I do not think the Lakers will win the championship this year as they did in 2009.
I also spoke to Carol (Hank's better half). I told her she should ride a few days so she could see if she could bike across the country next year.
Randy from XC08 comes every year and it was good to see him. Scott from XC08 was also there.
It is a strange feeling, but anyone who has done the trip seems like and old friend even if you did not actually bike with them.
As for me, while it was good to see everyone I hope to one day make another long distance bike trip.
