Tour of Britain

Awesome day, only way to have made it better was to miss the rain during the final 2 laps.  Final stage of the Tour of Britain today in and around London.  Short time trial in the morning and then a circuit race in the afternoon, taking in some of the best sights the city has to offer.  I was like a kid in a candy store all afternoon, Kristen was a trooper and stuck it out all day long. 

With the TT going on all the teams had set up camp right near the start/finish, and gave a front row seat, and an all access pass to just about everyone and everything all day long.  We steared away from HTC, because pretty much everyone in London wanted to see Cav, but that kept the crowds down around all the other teams.  Would have been great to have more big names racing but was still super cool.  Pro Tour races a couple miles from your front door is where it is at!!

Tons of bike porn to see.  Everyone was running electonic DA.

Leopard Trek must have done something right with their sponsers this year.  Benz station wagons as team cars, nice!!  Thier set up was sweet too.

TT Pics

 Thor seemed super personable, signed a bunch of autographs and talked to just about everyone around.  He was a bit concerned the battery in his Garmin was low though. 

 Road race pics....started raining with 2 to go, which split the race up a bit, but as expected Cav came through and smashed it for the win.  We watched the finish from 100 meters out, was insane how fast they were going coming up to the line.
