The kids and I arrived at the start-finish line about 6:45 am. We got there just in time to take a pictures of the team before they rolled out.
Best of luck to all the riders, but especially my rider! The wife in me is worried about him because he has only been taking antibiotics for two days. They cyclist in me knows that he is a strong rider and will be fine.
It was a stressful day for me. Despite not having much to do other than help around the team tent, I was very anxious. I was relieved to see Andy when he arrived for lunch. I was even more relieved to see him and another BTC team member who is fighting bronchitis cross the finish line! I will kick his ass later for not listening to the doctor, but, for right now, I am very proud of that husband of mine. One hundred miles while recovering from diverticulitis is no small feat.
