Good morning, Hank, it's 6:15 on Sunday, come with me on the longest day of my life.

So this is definitely the biggest bike ride (?~0:06) Indy 500 I've ever experienced.  There's like, hundreds and hundreds of people here.  It's so exciting.  People often ask me, what's the key to a great race day?  Uncrustables.  You put 'em in your backpack frozen and then they thaw in your backpack and you eat 'em for lunch.  

We are now in Speedway, Indiana, which most days is a town of about 35,000 people, but today is the second largest city in Indiana.  Over 400,000 people will be here.  We have our first major hiccup which is that it is raining.

Pretty good view for Henry's first Indy 500.  Big drama of the day so far is the dryers are out.  

Okay, we only made it to lap 165, but Stuart and I are headed to the airport.  I can't believe we're biking to the airport right now.  This is--this is bonkers.  I'm not gonna lie, parts of that were pretty sketchy, but we made it.  It was all technically on bike lanes but man, some of those bike lanes aren't so bike-y.

And there's our bike path.  Now it is time to sleep.

Welcome to London.

I know what you're wondering.  Did Stuart make us double exclusive luggage tags?  He did.  

Greetings from the hotel, where I just took a shower, and now I have to go downstairs and go to a pub, but I am wearing the exact same outfit that I was nine years ago when Wimbledon previously made it to Wembley, because not that I'm superstitious or anything, but I did like, get this out of a mothballed closet.  

I don't actually believe in superstition, except insofar as we make things powerful by believing in them, which is actually how I feel about a lot of things, but there's no time for existential crises, we've gotta go see the Wimbledon!

The Nerdfighter Dons are here!  Whoo!

Off to Wembley.
