Catching Up....

OK so I really stank at keeping up with all the blog stuff, in 2006. This and other entries are going to be speed blogs.
I will try to compress a years worth of entries into just a few days. Many of these entries will not have text or explanations as that takes to long to type much less read. So use your imagination carefully as it could get you into trouble. Get it? Got it? Good...

Remainder of the 2006 Amgen Tour of California.......Yes, they are in order from beginning to end, at least until I add another entry.

San Fran

I think the Rainbow stripes mean you are really special. :-)

Santa Rosa

A bit of early morning city disruption. Nice folks, and one of the most well attended stages. Folks came from every corner to see this stage. Of course it helped that this was Levi's hometown....

Likely one of the largest hotels I have stayed in. This place was massive. Too bad (at least for us) we were only there for a few hours.

San Jose
I tried clicking on this building to make a copy but it didn't work.

Some behind the scenes pics.
A photo from the Green room. These were the podium jerseys and gift award picture BEFORE they were awarded. I'll let you figure out who won this stage.



OK, here is a clue....


More behind the scenes....

Yes, that is the great Judy Miller of USAC fame, center stage ready to score some riders in a fast finish.

The always safe and courteous Mr. Johnson who would so often say on my mark 3, 2, 1... Here he has dropped off his partner and her chalk board (actually it was a dry eraser board). Not much of a gap to figure this day.

And laslty for a bit of local perspective. Just prior to Danny boy getting hit by the comuter train. Yep, Dan that really was a close one. Keep in mind this pic was taken in Feb 2006. I cant begin to guess what it would display now. Metcalf thanks for the gas cards.
