AMGEN’s 2008 Tour of California came through Sacramento today. The rain arrived just before the cyclists reached the edge of town. They rode three two-mile laps on city streets before sprinting to the finish line for Stage 2 of the race.

This shot was taken with my camera clamped to the end of an extended painter’s pole, about 12′ above the ground. It’s like a miniature aerial view.

It can be very refreshing to ride a bicycle along a quiet mountain road. The only sounds you hear are the buzz of knobby tires on asphalt and the wind in the treetops.

It’s a strange feeling to watch your oldest son get into a boxing ring for his first match. You know the other guy is there for one purpose – to beat the crap out of your son. I tried to tie the guy’s shoelaces together, but he kept moving his feet around.
