The chick in the Ford.

[Theodore Schefelbein]

Likely, if you have done this a time or three, you’ve noticed the brunette in the blue, extended cab Ford who lurks along the route. Her name is Maria, and while she doesn’t ride, or repair the bikes along the Tour, she was foolhardy enough to involve herself with me, and has bailed numerous of you out over the years. Her cell number is 612-412-3135. She generally has an idea where I am, but, she has the tools (don’t ask, she is perfectly useless with them) spare parts ( pretzel a 26” wheel? I’ve got your six) and far more importantly, beer in her F150.

Make note of it. Better safe, than sorry.
