Today I went to the Tour of Utah, stage 2 of 5. It was awesome!!! It started at Thanksgiving Point and went down the west side of Utah Lake then headed up Mt. Nebo loop to just past the summit (9320 ft). This was my first time actually shooting a bicycle race, and boy was it fun, although some of the riders and teams have big egos. :-D When I first showed up I thought it was just a local race, but I found out rather quickly that it was a national/international race. Within being there for 10 minutes, I had heard some English, Spanish, Portuguese. Also while we were at the finishline they were stating that Lance Armstrong had taken notice of the race, so maybe next year he will be there. :-D The winner of this stage is a South African who now lives in good old SLC, Utah. Second place was a gentleman from Spain and 3rd I think was also from SLC.
This gentleman got the jersey for best/youngest rider!
