G'Day everyone. Your friendly local bike wrench is heading on the road again with the men in Yellow, Mavic Neutral for the 2008 Tour of California. It is my hope to get a daily journal of the events and daily goings on at this years race from inside the barricades and the yellow cars.

After my successful trip to Colorado last month I was able to hang out with the now head of the Special Service Course (SSC) division of Mavic. Oh yeah for those of you that own Mavic products and all ways wondered what that SSC meant on your wheels, that is what it means.

I am heading up north next Thursday for a few days of preparation work before Sundays Palo Alto Prologue. Then it is off to Sausalito for the start of Stage 1 and finally to the finish area in Santa Rosa where myself and 3 other gents in Yellow shirts will be in charge of the first womens pro event being held on the streets of Santa Rosa before the mens event comes to town.

Again I will have my trusty new MacBook in hand and digital camera in the hopes of bringing you shots and stories not written on Velo News or Cycling News.

Stay tuned kids.

Cheers,

BD
