    I got some good shots on stage 4

    Rode out from Cambria toward Big Sur to meet them.

    Don't know.....but it just didn't seem that exciting this year. Kinda felt like once Wiggins got the Yellow Jersey, everyone else seemed to give up. Kept waiting for the attacks to come.....but they didn't.

    Under my portable shade, across the road from the coffee trailer. The coffee trailer the race on the big screen. After me it was empty to the KOM 100m sign. There was a woman in all silver and a Big brown furry box dude nearby. Sorry I missed you. I had plenty of shade, freeze dried pineapple swag and cold drinks in the cooler.

    Did you see the dudes from Newbury Park Cycles on the triple? Nice bike. They were pushing that hill quite well. Where we were at you could see the breakaway and peloton just before the Rockstore and then watch them wind the switchbacks all the way up to the 270 degree turn.

    I've been downloading the Giro & ToC & a pile of others from www.cyclingtorrents.nl

    It's not the smoothest operation over there, but since their servers crashed the other day, they opened up leeching without counting against your ratio.

    Scooping up all the classics & TdF's up into the 80s & 90s next... :)
