Even though I made it back home to Lubbock last night, I'd like to share a few pics from the past week. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Tour of Utah, one of cycling's biggest road races in the USA. Granted, it doesn't have the same stature as the Tour of California, but not every state can be as cycling-crazed. First, here are a few race-related pics:
 |
| Barbie gets a free ride with the Race Doctor in his convertible |
 |
| And that's the inside of the Race Doc's car—course profile, roster, radio all within reach |
 |
| The caravan heads out |
 |
| Not-so-rich Team Optum prepares for the arrival of its riders after Stage 5 |
 |
| If you watched TV footage, it came from these two fellows |
 |
| The chief referee himself, M. Pierre Blanchard at the start of the Park City stage (6) |
 |
| My right hand for the entire race, Heather—Master RV Driver! |
And lest thou thinketh it was all about the race, well, re-think. I did get a chance to ride my Ritchey for almost 200 miles, and there was a lot to see.

As posted at the state-owned liquor store—at least there is no requirement to also
bring along one's six kids! |
 |
| Downtown SLC as seen from the Jordan River Parkway bike path, which stretches for 40+ miles |
 |
| Crosswalks are equipped with flags that pedestrians are to frantically wave when dodging traffic |
 |
| Artwork is everywhere—this one in Park City |
 |
| One can learn new words all the time ... |
 |
| The Red Iguana serves what locals called the best Mexican food in town |
And that's all for tonight, folks. Thanks for looking, and stay tuned for more updates in the next few weeks—maybe I'll post a photo of my new carpet once it is installed.
