We walked down to a sharp curve in Calif 35 (Summit Road near Calif 17) that Craig thought would be interesting as the riders encountered it after a mostly-downhill "5 Km sprint".
[From Craig: Merikay's original read "point and shoot Cannon". Yes, cannons are important to all of us Santa Cruz Mountain people :-)]
You can just barely make out a few of the riders after they crossed the bridge over CA 17.
Quite a descent and sharp turns!
For those who care about such things, Slovakia's Peter Sagan won the stage, as he had won stage 1 yesterday. In the course of the race, he overcame his second flat tire in as many days, a crash into a pile of wrecked riders, and nearly being side-swiped by his own team car. (The next Lance Armstong?)
Ouch, my caboose hurts reading this!! I did 4 miles today...ok, that sucks compared to them. But then, so does my bike compared to theirs! Shooting Cannons huh? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha, good one Craig. I have to admire the bike riders..that's an intense sport.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you got out for a little of fun. You've both been working very hard!
ReplyDeleteLooked like a beautiful day to be out watching the riders.
ReplyDeleteOh - thanks for letting me know about the TofC. I didn't realize the event was being televised too.
ReplyDeleteSo happy that you took a day off. We learned the hard way that all work and no play is not the way to go.
