I have a bunch of stage 5 pictures but they are on my camera, which is in my friend Martha's bag...at her house. So if any of them are decent, I'll post them later.

We were on the course, where the riders came down that hill sulis describes above. It was something to see them take the corner at the bottom. The group got surprisingly spread out. It was a circuit in downtown Salt Lake (a 6.3 mile loop) that the riders did 6 times. Because they were so spread out, there weren't many lulls in the action. I think the team car drivers and VIP cars had as much fun driving the course as we did watching the riders. Luckily the weather held for the actual ride. It had looked like it would rain earlier in the day but then cleared up...and then rained, as sulis said. The weather here is incredibly wacky.

I won't post a Stage 6 report unless no one else does. I was on course again but didn't see much. And of course no pictures since I didn't have my camera. Martha got to ride in the Vitamin Cottage team car. I'm sure THAT was quite an adventure!
