We're going to the ToC tomorrow in Palo Alto, dreading the parking situation, but looking forward to seeing folks and the shows behind the scenes and in front.
TBV is going to be wearing his Phonak jacket, which he expects to be a rare sight. If you spot it, come over and say, "hi!".
Mrs. TBV will be more discreet, but she'll be the stunning blonde next to the dork in the garish jacket.

What was a daily roundup became an "irregular report" of links with specific Landis interest, with brief comment. We avoided bashing, gushing, or gross stupidity. Unless it was funny.
We're still around for mail, but don't expect much or quick response. Thanks!

"As always, Trust but Verify has the best coverage, if you want to delve into it." (Doucheblog)
"Floyd Landis: Blog on Landis Doping Allegations" (LA Times [better than nothing])
Total Poindexter Website Prize: to the fabulous geniuses over at trustbutverify, who not only are perhaps the most impassioned defenders of Floyd Landis' virtue beyond only the boy himself, but actually seem to understand the detailed scientific arguments they put out that the rest of us (well, me) are too stupid to even coherently summarize. Floyd, you better be innocent, or you owe these folks a *major* freakin' apology! (racejunkie)

"Who does awards for blogs? I sense a nomination is in order." (Carlton Reid, of BikeBiz)
"Hands-down champion of full-and I mean full-coverage of this hearing is the blog Trust But Verify. You'll have to have excellent background knowledge of the issues, and wade through page after page of detail to get to anything interesting, but it's raw and unfiltered and all there. The guy who runs the site, a cycling fan from Northern California, began casually providing a clearinghouse for Landis case news nearly 10 months ago, and now he has the haunted look of a man whose life has been hijacked and wants it back. (Loren Mooney, co-author of Positively False, at Bicycling)"thank you for you balanced look at what is happening with floyd." (Michael Farrington. Green Mountain Cyclery, Ephata, PA.)
"This genuine Floyd basher would like to thank you for the hard work you put into this great resource." (Spinopsys Phil)
" Trust but Verify, the essential clearinghouse blog about the Landis case" (Mark McClusky of Wired magazine)
"if you want the latest news on the Floyd Landis case, Trust but Verify is the go-to site. The author is biased in favor of Floyd (so am I) but the reporting is neutral and comprehensive." (12string musings)"Great blog. You're tagged. " (BikingBis. Great, more work)
[More...]Thanks to Free Floyd for the idea, and Groklaw for some inspiration.
PK/Strbuk is similarly inclined.Bill Hue is a passionate about fairness and justice, and is relatively indifferent to Landis' guilt or innocence
Marc is an American living in Paris.
If someone who leans towards guilt would like to contribute directly, please inform us.
Sharing a diversity of viewpoints is the best way we know of to arrive at the truth.

Eightzero will be in Santa Rosa for the laps at the end of stage 1. Unless of course, AEG will prohibit any spectators from attending that have an open doping investigation.
I admit it: I had a beer one time before competing in an Olympic qualifying event. I'm a confessed doper. Someone call big Dick.
Go Rock.
Hey TBV, I want you and Mrs. TBV to remember all of us poor shivering folks back East and give us plenty of reporting from the ToC tomorow, plus pictures!! Have a great time!!

Hey TBV,
Me and the missus will be thinking of you at Mrs. TBV and that warm California sun as we endure more freezing rain and snow tomorrow.
We'd rather be in sunny CA watching the races. Have a great time.
