The guy we were with knew quite a bit so I was learning from him. WOW...I'm still amazed at how all the events played out. I really had no idea what I was in for when I went to the dinner that night...I just knew I had to find some dress to wear and that I would get to enjoy some good, free food! <BR/><BR/>The night was so much better when I heard your name and saw you...incredible! I was getting interested in what racing was all about and had fun seeing the teams introduced on stage. Finally, I turned around to eat my dinner and then immediately spun back around when I heard your name!!! I was so proud to know you!!!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I have been learning a little about bike racing and have had fun reading about you as I have "Googled" your name. When I was watching you ride on Day one, I was downtown Kansas City, I told folks around me I know that guy. It was neat seeing you on TV with the breakaway group! <BR/><BR/>Tom, hope you are enjoying your time in Missouri...and I will be googling you from time-to-time! Way to go...you have always been one mentally tough, focused, determined guy...I'm proud of you!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>Erin (Van Zee) WhalleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26275211.post-17036195041009126532008-09-11T21:26:00.000-06:002008-09-11T21:26:00.000-06:00Tom -It was great to meet you at the TT.
