Todd Wiener reported that the breakfast and ride were a great success. Warren ate a good breakfast, Todd ate light, and Lance had black coffee. Go figure. Uncharacteristically, Bob Wislow got lost trying to find the Country Club (what does a city kid know about country clubs) and missed breakfast altogether.

The ride itself strayed from Todd's standard route, but they had little cones marking each turn and a support vehicle, so Todd managed not to panic. He got to talk with Chris Carmichael over breakfast, discuss tactics with Jim Ochowicz on the ride, and give Lance a lead out for the last sprint of the day. Todd is also very proud -- Lance taught him how to pronounce "Ghisallo" -- except that to Lance it's a very difficult climb rather than an inordinately expensive bike.

Warren Weisberg reported that the breakfast and ride were excellent. Warren learned a new hand signal from Jim Ochowicz; words can't do it justice, so please ask Warren for a demonstration.

The Man himself. And Lance Armstrong, too.
