On Monday, Stage 2 of the Tour of California zipped within three blocks of our house as they rode from Sausalito down to Santa Cruz. There was no excuse to not roll out of bed to watch them zip by. Except for the pouring rain and the high winds of course.

So I chickened out and decided to drive a little further down the course where the riders had to climb a hill that I go over when I ride into work. I figured it would be nicer than watching them zip by on a flat road going 28 mph.

I can't say any of the pictures I took turned out, but I can say that the weather was indeed horrible and I was glad that I don't need to race in the horrible weather. Then again, these guys are paid to race, rain or shine, cold or warm. Maybe not paid well, but that is their job. Which makes me glad that my job conditions are a little bit better.
