Tour of California Prologue VIP Party
posted by id* at 03:33 PM on January 25, 2008
When the prologue starts on February 17th at 1pm in Palo Alto, Paolo Bettini won't be the only World Champion in town. We've invited our four other Champions to join us - Chris Macca McCormack, Conrad Stoltz, Christoph Sauser and Rebecca Rusch - to join us at an exclusive party right on the Prologue course in downtown Palo Alto. And I've secured 60 invitations for the Specialized Riders Club!
Normally these tickets are $95 each but I've arranged for 30 to give a way to Premium Members and the other 30 I will be able to sell on a first come first served basis. The party will last from 12noon to 4:30pm, will include food and drinks, VIP guests, World Champions, a great spot to watch the race and lots of other Specialized Riders Club extras!
Please message me on the site at Ian Dewar (id*) or email the club at riders@specialized.com and I can put the first 60 people on the guest list. This is going to be the best way all day to watch the race and get up to the minute updates on teams, racers and the upcoming season.

SWEET! What a great way to kick off the week of California Dreamin'! Will there be space in the VIP area to stash our bikes?

GREAT idea - why yes we will have a VIP area to park our bike! the owners of the restaurant are Swiss and Italian and LOVE cycling so are really helping make a great event.
It'll be awesome to have people ride their bikes to the race!

Man, if only California wasn't thousands of miles away! Getting to hang with some Specialized champs, watch the race and just enjoy the company of some fellow riders... that would be truly awesome.
Alas, I will only be keeping up on the ToC via my TV as I spin the trainer in the basement...

PS Any chance I can get my picture taken with Paolo?

Paolo might be tough - he's going to be in high demand, but Patrick Lefevre has agreed to come to the party and we can all walk over to the bus to say hi as well...

Hey all - If you have hometown bike shop water bottles - bring an extra to trade! I'll have some from my little shop here in Oregon-
