Well it turned out to be an awesome day! We had plenty of time to walk the vendors and grab some lunch and brew in the beer garden while we watched the race. Later we set-up in front of a jumbo-tron just past the finish right along the fence. This was a good spot to watch them circuit past, and after the race it was where all the riders stopped and chatted so we got some decent pictures.

We tried to funnel up to the stage for the awards ceremony, got some pictures from afar and started to head back. Two seconds later the entire winner's circle is brushing past us, being led through the crowd by two bike-cops. It clicked after I saw the crowds parting and a green jersey moved by. I got my camera up just in time to get the back of the red KOM jersey and then Levi (Didn't realize he was THAT small!).

I'll try to get some pics up tonight.
