Surviving Solvang

The TT is always the toughest stage for the crews. With some amateurs going off an hour before the Pros, things were compressed even tighter. A sort section of road heading into Los Olivos flooded up to the yellow line. It looked like if someone spit in the water, the remainder of the road would flood too. The weather calmed down and we had a great day (but not without some drama).

It started with the Rock Racing Rolls Royce trying to get on the course (during the live TT) so it could avoid a little traffic. If you know me then you know my answer to that one! Also lost one rider who decided that he would follow his lead vehicle through deviation. Coming to the final turn wth 300M to the finish, cars would deviate off the course and continue down a narrow alley to pick up another rider. Let's see: do I continue straight to a waiting crowd of thousands of people or do I turn down an alley and continue 500m into team parking?

Last thing was doing the D3 (Deviation Death Dance)...again...with Mr. Vaughters. Maybe I can get one of those spike strips from CHP???
