Another huge event. Longest stage race in North America. This would have been year 40. Volunteered a few times. For the downtown criterium, since I am not a small individual my job was to be on the outside of 90 degree turn to keep people back so they don't cause a wreck. Been a couple times, when folks don't listen, I've had to spread arms and body some a-holes back where they belong. Those riders cook. You couldn't take corners in your car as fast as they do. You can feel the breeze as the pack goes by. And, they don't maintain social distance.

And then on the next lap they run over it and squish it flat. Ha! Take that stupid virus |

First the pole, paddle, pedal and now the cycling classic. Betting the ?Bob Dylan concert will bite the dust as well. I'm sure it would be god-awful expensive to see a past his prime Dyan, but I would spend the bucks. Most people do not know how good he is on the guitar. Caught him one time as the alleged side man to one singer. No one else. He never said a word. Just sat there and played. No show. There was no doubt who the star of the number was and it wasn't the singer.
