Today our car route took us a little away from our bikers, so the media crew decided to roll out something we’ve been thinking about all along. There are a few pictures below, but the highlight of the post tonight is a very special kind of slide show. Throw on some headphones and hit the play button to experience a condensed version of today’s ride just as one of our visually impaired riders would (minus the smells of course).

If you listen close, you’ll hear us start our day with a walk to the cafeteria through the sprinklers (some of us rode over), breakfast in Pepperdine’s cavernous dining hall, our SAG support car passing a few of the riders, the team passing LAX and the beach, arrival at the half way pit stop, filling the water containers, a chance encounter with a horse, the team arriving at and departing from the pit stop, riding through more urban sections of the route with features like Spanish radio, but stop overhangs, corner food stands and passing a few bikers as well. We finished out the ride past some beautiful stretches of beach and into UCI.

See if you can hear it all…
