I’m back from my short vacation to California to see the Tour of California and do some riding. I left 72 degrees and sunny conditions for 6 degrees and blustery wind. Managed to get 300 miles in over four days, this was a real treat.
I took some pictures but the best one came from an unknown source that miraculously found it’s way to me. It’s notated and can viewed at Flickr by clicking on it.
Hope to make it back next year. Congratulations to Floyd Landis, Olaf Pollack, and Levi Leipheimer who took the overall, sprint, and climbing jerseys.
Update: Someone left a comment identifying the photo as being taken by Mike Margolis of the Conejo Valley Cyclists. Thanks Mike for one of my best cycling photos ever!
The photographer was Mike Margolis of the Conejo Valley Cyclists. I was standing next to Mike when he took this picture. This remains my favorite of all the ToC pictures I’ve seen (including mine). It tells the whole story all in one shot.
