Solvanging It

Here are a sampling of my photos from Solvang 2009.

Pasadena and Palomar photos will come in another post later in the week - stay tuned.... :-)

I'd never been to an ITT before and especially wanted to go check out the team bus area and watch the riders warm-up.

There were a lot of cool bikes to see....

And you never knew who'd be around the next corner....

J.V. was giving an interview.

Robert Gesink was happily posing for photos.

George and Bob were in deep conversation.

And Bobby Julich was working his new job.

Jason McCartney was spinning away.

And right next door to Saxo was Cervélo, and Thor was looking good.

Cervélo had really high-tech risers for their front tires.

Oh yeah, of course there was a race going on too....

Caught a shot of Cav.

And J.J. Haedo.

But then I decided to head for the finish line and I couldn't get any more good shots as the guys whizzed by.

I got a good spot on the side of the grand stand.

George looking classic in blue.

And after all of that, my favorite shot of the day.

How cool would it be to have Dave Z. as your dad!

Then I hiked back to my car, after a little detour of walking out the wrong direction at first - duh! I then found my way to the PdC party, which was a fantastic way to end a fantastic day!
