Team Dinner

This is Bobby Julich. He is now my favorite. Fucking hilarious guy.

We went to the team dinner Tuesday night. Not like one team. Like THE team dinner. I mean the tour people have to feed the cyclists somehow. It was in this big banquet hall and all the teams had different tables and they just kinda wandered in in thier sweats and ate and talked and hung out.

It would have been cool no matter what, but there were these tables seperate from the team tables where we were suppose to sit and we ended up next to these two guys: this guy who 'owned' a part of the race and with Andrea Peron, this former CSC rider. Andrea knew everyone and both of them were full of all this inside info, so they basically introduced us to everyone who walked by.

And we were sitting behind the CSC table, so at one point the guys at the CSC table start talking to the two guys sitting with us. So I turn around in my chair and am in the middle of a conversation between Bobby Julich and Fabian Cancellara. It was basically making fun of Fabian for being European. And talking about how crazy it would be if they had their team camp in South Central LA.

We didn't really take pictures or try to get autographs or anything, just kinda enjoyed it. And Steve talked training with Andrea and power with everyone else. Did get a photo with Tom Boonen, but since our digital camera isn't working, it'll be awhile before that gets developed.
