Road Bike Racing - Tour de Georgia Stage 5 (Photos)

I was lucky enough to get some time off on Friday to see part of the race. I was surprised by the number of cyclists out and about, if only it were like that more often. I was on highway 60 North of Woody Gap right before highway 180. I was hoping to be on the mountain, but it was very crowded and a little dark in the trees for photos. So I chose a location with some space. Here are a few more photos the first one I posted yesterday in RonH's stage six tread and since there seemed to be a lot of interest here are a few more.

The rest of the gallery can be found here. (http://patch29.smugmug.com/gallery/105046/1) There are some larger versions of the photos there as well.

Just in case you were wondering what they eat, one of these was dropped in the road. Bread, peanut butter and a banana.
