Comments: But wait! We haven't even gotten to the after-parties (yes, that's plural) yet! Dang. We have come a long way from Brennan bringing ice-cream bars and beer to the race directors' villa while we sat around and traded war stories in a small circle. But that same spirit is still there ... just in a five-star setting! This is the Ayana resort, uphill from the race site.

Live music, free-flow booze, juices, and soft drinks, more five-star canapes, race highlights (from that morning! yes!) playing on a big screen ... and because I'm not gorked on morphine from a bad crash, I get to enjoy and remember it all!
