Yeah, I wish I could ride these. Oh well - another time. Trinity looks pretty epic. That descent down Oakville Grade to Yountville/Rutherford is wicked. It is about the fastest descent around - with a couple of exciting (scary) corners. It would be fun to see how fast they take it. It is a wicked climb from the Napa side. The GP and PP did it on the tandem and didn't...quite...make....it.

The women heard me tell Jo that I wanted a picture of Zabriskie for the forum. She said, "You want a picture? Here. Come with me." She then greeted him and asked about his mom and a couple other things. They definitely knew each other, but that's all I know. Nice of her to step up to help. I just stood behind her and took the photos. I'm pretty sure he knew what she was doing because he kept his head down unless someone he knew started talking to him.

There was a snippet on the news that he got hurt today and might not ride tomorrow! Anyone else heard anything?
Did anyone hear the reporter on Channel 5 massacre Levi Leipheimer's name? (Not sure I spelled it right....)

This one is a little dark... I haven't had time to futz with it yet. But here is DZ getting ready to go down the steps on Telegraph hill after his ride. Just after this he picked up his bike by the seat and threw it over his shoulder and said no to any help from the tour helpers (he was one of very few riders who said no to help)

Great pics, Veronica! Those of us in other parts of the country are living vicariously through your narratives & pictures. Keep it up!
Question for all: What do you think of the commissaires' decision regarding the finish yesterday? And did anyone see the crash?

WELL DONE, WELL DONE,
those of us on the east coast have to stay up well past our bedtime to catch the coverage. One question my son has because we have not seen them is LiquiGas Bianchi in the race???

ps-How come Basso is back??? Didn't he have to do a 2 year suspension like Tyler Hamilton?
Quitting is NOT an option!

Interesting to see Basso doing the grunt work at the front of the pack. Great shots, V!
