It was a great day, perfect weather, lots of nice people; you could eat, watch the heats, talk with vendors, or go to a car show. We did the lap, and watched a couple heats. I wish I would have done the race, not that I could have won, but it would have been a fun to experience. There was some wind, so that might have made an impact.

We saw Lance when he went through the "lappers" after the ride was over. Lots of people were trying to get close, we just let him ride by. He also presented the awards, but didn't speak. He could have made a bigger deal about the day, thanking the racers and lappers for helping his foundation. There was talk of an annual event, and there are a few points to work on, but in general just a great day. We talked with several people from out of state, and rode a little of the Formula 1 track as well. Trek also had Madones to ride and the track food, while pricey, tasted alright.

As for Lance upseting the Indy cyclist, there was some deal back in May with the Indy 500. I think the bikers wanted to do something for/with Lance, and it didn't work out or only included a few people - I don't think anyone is holding a gruge.

The Speedway is an awesome venue, maybe not the best for biking, but very cool to be there with a couple thousand rather then a couple hundred thousand.
