Pics - Stage 3
My DH and I saw Stage 3 at three spots -- the start in San Jose, the Patterson Pass KOM (KOM #2), and Hwy 132 where the course turned off of Kasson Rd. just outside Modesto. We tried to beat them again to the finish, but we ran out of time.
Here are some pics:

The chase by Astana up Patterson Pass:

The breakaway still held at Hwy 132 & Kasson, but was gone by the time they reached Modesto:

Hope you enjoy these -- my camera was cooperating.
I also got a picture with Bob Stapleton, one of the founders of Columbia-High Road, around the mechanics' trailers in Modesto. He was gracious, and I was in awe -- he's done so much for cycling in such a sort time. I'll post Stage 4 pics in other post to this thread.
