Tour of California 2009 Volunteers

80 out of 500+ were chosen to volunteer at this year's Tour of California which began Saturday, Feb 14. One of my friends from high school (Burbank HS) was among them and I had dinner with her and a few on her crew last night at Chevy's in Santa Rosa. An avid cyclist herself, Shari Deuel Nicholls at 60 yrs is quite impressive with her winnings too!

It was fun meeting some of these wild and crazy cyclist fans who came from all over the place (i.e. Michigan, Alabama, Vermont, Hawaii and of course, good ol' California) to help and be apart of this exciting adventure!
