That Clif Bar Thing

The pizza and wine were good. And it was fun to be around and socialize with so many local cyclists.

But...
Personally, I like to be entertained. And most of these guys seemed like they wanted to be somewhere else (like asleep). I wonder if they got paid to appear?
The lava lamp was a big hit.

Fast Freddie (Predictor - Lotto) was there and he's silly. He always seems to have a big smile on his face. Even when I see him riding locally, he's always smiling and waving hi. And he didn't disappoint. He had some good stories.
Freddie gave me a pat on the back one year after I was pulled from the Albany crit. He was hanging around watching our race. Since then I've always liked him

Let's see if I can remember who was there besides Freddie...
Ed Beamon, directeur sportif of Navigators, Gavin Chilcott, directeur sportif of BMC, David Something from BMC, sprinter guy from BMC, Mike Sayers (BMC) Glen (Allan) Chadwick, (Navigators) Ben Day & Hilton Clark (both Navigators), Ken Hanson (BMC), David Vitoria (BMC) and emcees Dylan Seguin and Dave Towle.
Phew!
Mark McCormack was supposed to be there, but alas he sat stuck on a tarmac somewhere waiting for a plane to take off. He would have been interesting to listen to.
It was cool.
