Oh, my bad. Domestique is the SCATTANTEGAY French rodie name for the teammates/helpers of the leader of the team.
Just go and take your girl. It's supposed to be the mother of all bike get togethers and it's located in a beautiful area. This will be my first time doing the race. I've ridden Fort Ord before with some locals and it's a nice and challenging area.
Maybe you can talk Stheven into going too.
