Tour of California

Tour of California, the biggest cycling race in the states, begins this weekend.  For the first time ever, it's traveling South to North.  Since it's in my neck of the woods, I thought I'd wake up early and check it out.  While I'm not typically a sports photographer, I really do enjoy shooting events like this one.  I can't imagine the amount of passion and endurance it must take to do something like this--inspiring!
