More TOC prologue pics

I got to the prologue at just before the 1pm start. Walked around the pits which were fully accessible to the public. Watched a few riders start and then walked over to University Ave to watch the first 20 riders go by. Continued up University on to the Standford campus.  

I ended up spending most of time 200 meters before the start of the big loop. This is the same spot where the riders turned off the course after finishing on the other side of the road. This gave me a second chance to yell the names of my favorite riders.

Good stuff
Though Cancellara looks kind of small. I thought he was ten feet tall with legs made of tree trunks?

I thought
He was a two ton man mountain who could palm a medicine ball.

No, no
That's William Wallace you're thinking of.
