Legs are burning

It's been a long, lazy winter, and doubling up vacations (Christmas in December plus passport renewal layover in February) has left my legs a little wobbly. Even keeping to the flats on a flat, aerobic ride up to the Stanford campus today, there's a little something-something in the thighs afterwards...not to mention hunger!

Checked out the setup for the Tour of California prologue on the way through. For now it's mostly chaos of tents and trailers without any actual team identification visible, though the fencing around the Oval was being put in place. My friends at Front of the Pack will be in the expo tomorrow and won't be bringing in the gear 'til early tomorrow morning. Only saw a few jerseys from the Kelly Benefit Stategies/Medifast team, cruising around the Oval on their TT bikes, though rumor has it there were pros aplenty on Old La Honda and Kings Mountain today.

Brief observations/recommendations for ToC tomorrow:
--If you're coming to watch the prologue, carpool or take the train. Stanford has parking to accomodate 30,000 football fans, but it gets a bit ugly come time to go home.
--Even better, park farther away and ride in to watch. There is bike valet service at Lasuen St and Museum Way, Stanford, CA . Don't know the cost, and there may be other locations, but it's probably nicer than hauling your bike beside you all the time while watching.
