Yes, another year, another AToC. But unlike last year where I misssed the prologue in downtown Palo Alto, this year I made it to the second stage. This time one of the two climbs was in Woodside, so I took the opportunity to watch the action live.
Suffice it to say, the pros are FAST.
Awesome photos were taken by Ken Conley and you can check out his AToC race photo gallery.
It was cold, raining and people in the hundreds came out to watch a wonderful race. And guess what? I got video! Yes, now you get to share the entire experience of watching the race beginning from the build up of spectators to the actual race, where the pros are just hammering to the first KOM.
Bonus points for whoever spots Lance!
