I hope everyone enjoyed watching the Amgen final today and the beautiful So. Cal. weather. I just wanted to post two photos from last week’s women’s crit held on the same track that the Amgen…
One last photo, and you will I did not shot anything from the men’s tour, it was just raining way too hard and I did not have a hood or cover for the camera.

Riding on the trainer while it is pouring outside but I get to watch Levi win his third Amgen ToC. Santa Rosa should be very proud of his victory. Looks like another indoor day…
This was just one of the climbs that we made today, but you can see what a beautiful day it was.

Great ride but it was so cold I could never slow down too much. It was 47 when we started but only 42 when we finished. Rode my interval sets and was able to complete the…
Another day on the stationary bike, boy do I hate that. Way too much standing around at these conferences, I miss my bike rides.
