Day 104, Tour Of California, Santa Clarita, My View At The Finish Line

Here we are at the finish line of the Tour of California on the penultimate day of racing. Bob Roll is interviewing Levi Lephiemer who is the overall leader. If you know anything about cycling, then this is really a great thing to go see. The finish line was amazing. My wifes' Aunt Kathy scored me access to the VIP tent, and this was my view. I hope you will forgive me, but this will take a few days to get through. I took these over The end of the Saturday race and the depart on Sunday morning, Thanks Aunt Kathy, again from the VIP tent.

Todays post will be the Finish Line. There is Bob Roll, who wouldn't say hi, and then the VS camera man, who blocked my prized position. He was there to get the finish. I found this harder then I thought. I had on the fastest glass in my bag, a 1.4 50mm lens. I got a lot of fuzzy pics. The worst were some other pics of Bob interviewing the stage winner, who was later penalized 20 seconds for using the team motor car to rejoin the race after he had flatted on the circuit.  

Bob who wouldn't say "Hi".
