Hi, everyone.  If you are a fan of the Tour of California, I highly suggest you check out the most recent "Road" magazine special ToCA collector's edition.  It has some of the greatest cycling photography I've ever seen, simply spectacular!

There are amazing, arty photo portraits of several riders that are unparalleled in their beauty, including one of Voeckler that is just scary good.  The ones of Tony, Cippo, Rollin, Millar, Kohl, and Pagliarini blew me away, too.

There are also beautiful recaps of each of this year's stages.  Unreal!

I have to also admit that I haven't really read the whole thing yet, I just got it in the mail today, but I HIGHLY recommend you run, do not walk, down to your local bookstore and check it out.  I'm not normally a huge fan of the mag, as I usually find only about a third of the articles as wonderful as the other cycling 'zines I subscribe to, but I tell ya:  this editiona is a winner, if only for the photography!

The photographers are: John Segesta, Allan Crawford, Carson Blume and Jonathan Devish.  Hoo boy, what a rush!
