Title: Tour of California Stage 7 May 19th Trip
Post by: Jeffrey Baxter on May 07, 2012, 12:34:48 PM
Who is in for a road trip to see Amgen Tour of California Mt Baldy stage 7 (May 19th). I have a friend that lives very close to the race route. I figure we leave early on Saturday (take the bikes) and park at his house. Then ride to see the race.

For the art critics, here is the latest attempt by yours truly.

I have a saddle sore at the moment that's keeping me off the bike.  We'll see.

Not sure I am up for the trip but I would like a tour of the baxter art studio. Very cool piece of work Jeff. I think a Saturday morning art exhibit is in order and please bring the model for your latest creation.

Ha Sean,

Thanks for the positive comments.

I hope to change you mind on the trip. We can talk on Saturday.

Ursula,

Glad to have a fellow tour watcher. I'll get more details put together by Saturday.

No joke, we should have a ride stop at yor studio/house for 10 minutes to check out your work, or a post ride preview. Oh and autographed phots from your model:)

And if you bring your model on the Stage 7 viewing trip....I am in, and I will can offer her carpooling :)
