I like Phil Liggerts comment about people drinking for 72 hours straight... explains all I saw. I was struck by... all the nekkid people I saw, men in bikini's (with thong and top), furries! Lots of people in furry animal costumes (you know these are fetish suits and the one time they can come out and play in public), the guys running with no clothes but t-shirts stuck in their butts (that made no sense!), people suited up in giant condoms (like blue man group fanatics)... was this not the weirdest Tour on record in terms of crazy folks being out??? I often wonder how the riders get through it all - the noise, the in your face yelling, the crazy outfits, all of it!
