Tour of California

[4x4mike]

Anyone going to see it in person? Yesterday was the prologue in Sacramento and it was pretty exciting. Currently, this morning I am sifting through the 939 photos I took. I'm kind of bummed because I didn't want to be doing this all day.

:lol: No its a bunch of people with spandex and shaved legs, doing a glory ride around Cali.

Personally not very exciting, just alot of traffic.

This year they chose to go through Paso Robles rather than San Luis Obispo (which drew huge crowds last year). I'm sure they will get a decent crowd, but nothing like they got when they had the stage that came down Hwy 1 and ended in downtown SLO. :shake:

I'd watch if they rode down my street. :D

Hey I shave my legs, even in the winter. Anyways, not a lot of traffic just a bunch of people. I'm more excited in the support and fans for the sport of cycling.

May I ask what kind of camera you are using...? :bling:

[4x4mike]

Run of the mill Nikon D50 with a 18-135 lens.

[Good Times]

Did ya hear someone stole Armstrong's bike!?!?!?!?

[troyboy162]

[4x4mike]

Yeah, sounds like it got broken into in Sacramento, 4 bikes.
I thought they all went to Davis for the night because that's where they started from today. Last night the wife and I were in Davis and we saw a lot of the Amgen cars there.

[slosurfer]

Nice pics. Dude, some of those handlebars are tiny!!!

[Scuba]

Dang, I lost my nikon point and shoot, Im thinking about getting a nikon d40 at circuit city if they still have any this coming friday...

[habanero]

Great pics, 4x4Mike!

Watch those C.C. prices- around here they marked everything up, then put it on "clearance". Turned out even with the sale prices other companies' regular prices were still beating them on a lot of things.

[Scuba]

Will do, Maybe they'll do some sort of price match...Thanks hab !! :bling:

[Good Times]
