TOC Balcom Canyon


We started the morning with an expresso and chocolate donut



The SFV bike club and Manny provided an awesome route.



The beginning of Balcom - Hey, this isn't so bad...



Looking good, guys... looking good.



Close to the top... after 20% grades... not cool.



Looking back



The bandwagon was there too...



The crew... Rob, Gary, Manny, Marc, Jon, and Michael



And Neil!!!



And... that's right... the Big Hair Superfan. Awwwwesome...



And then this happened...



Ah... awkward?



Yes, this is the "Pope" sprinkling water on the cops.




It's JT!!! VIP, baby...




The break... 7 minutes ahead




The peleton...

I just saw you guys on TV!

Manny's enthusiasm at seeing the breakaway was matched only by the look of disdain on Gary's face. As if he were saying "hell, I just rode up this thing with only a chocolate donut to keep me warm, suck it up, Health Net".

LG immortalized on VS. . Truly historic.

Bighair Superfan was truly awesome (http://bighairsuperfan.com/).

Almost as awesome as Marc bringing us sammys and coffee. :-)

What a thrill it was to the the red/white/blue of the LG team. What a week as a VIP. Can't wait to write about my time hanging with the big boys of cycling. Look real close and you might be able to see that the driver of the car I am in is none other than 2 time Olympic medal winner Steve Hegg.

Dudes this race ROCKS!!!!!!!
