What a great day
I got to ride the first 2 miles of the course and after riding that roller coast then seeing the pros at speed was really impressive and insane. The Ridge Road turn was a bit scary. Can't imagine doing it on a TT bike.
This guy has mad climbing skills!
Vandevelde during warmup.
Frank Schleck
Ivan Basso pushing through a turn.
My guy, Levi.
Ryder Hesjedal from above.
Though 17" out of first Tommy Danielson will, I believe he will win the tour.
Joe, you know you need one.

Stage 6 and Lookout Mountain
Rode 27 miles of the stage 6 route including Lookout Mountain today. 2200' of total elevation gain. On the backside I hit 44 mph. Curious to see how much faster the pros are on the down hill.
I am running a 39/53 and an 11-28 gear setup. With my weight I was very happy to be able to climb with those gears. A triple may be in my future.
Great Job Mike!!!! JJ
