Tour of California, 1 of 2

As most of you know, TLC and I are cycling fans along with others in the family. Well about a month ago the Tour of California ripped its way throughout the state. Starting in northern California and working its way down to San Diego. Well as you would imagine Taunya and I wanted to go check it out. So we ventured about 5 miles down the road where they were going to start the race. We did this rather than go park along the course and wait for them to ride by. I thought that this would be the best way to see some of the pros and boy, did we. Take a look at the pics that I got of yes, Lance Armstrong. We had a great time and it was awesome to see so many people out supporting such a great sport.

Some of the other notable sights were a motorcyclist that rides around a professional cycling photographer. So, we all know that I am a fan of anything with 2 wheels and I decided to ask this guy standing by the motorcycles some questions about riding with the pack, how it works such as hierarchy, etc. In an Australian accent, he began to explain how complicated it is and I took a glance at his name badge and it said "Walt Conte". I was like holy mole!!!! I pulled out my id and showed him my last name. As you can see from the pic to the right, we do look a bit similar. hahaha. What a small world I tell you. Anyway it was an awesome time. I will post again with all of the pics that I took there and ones especially of Lance.
