STAGE 1

       Stage 1 started this morning with the appropriate ceremony.  All the teams were very visible for the rider sign-in.  The Discovery Team signed up very early though so many folks, myself included, missed them.  One of the most visible teams and accessible has been Phonak.  Floyd Landis has been really going out of his way to sign autographs and shake hands.  He was even out wandering the Riverwalk yesterday milling amongst the pedestrians and making jokes about his police escort apparently being lost.  I really appreciate such a well known rider working the fans.  He even signed my coolcycling.com shirt.
