Sunrise over Livermore.

A last pit stop before the race.

A quick massage to get the blood flowing.

Everyone seemed happy.

Cyclists are not known for being conformists.

Over the bridge.

Through the farmland.

Up the hills.

Putting the hurt on other riders.

Getting a little water to keep yourself going.

The corner workers were keeping things safe.

A breakaway.

Around the corkscrew.

The spectators took many forms.

...and watched from different locations.

Trying to get the best vantage point.

Strung out around the course.

A little off the front.

Glad to be finishing at the front.

A victory celebration.

A little young for that podium.

Celebrating the win.

Celebrating victory with a team mate.

One stray bottle left at the end of the races.

Spoils from a tough race.
