More 2006 Tour of Utah

The last couple of days have been busy. I spent Friday up at the OR show, and then that evening I watched the circuit race through downtown Salt Lake. The race was stage 5 of the Tour of Utah. Today I rode my bike with Keith up to the summit of the Alpine Loop ahead of the peleton riding the brutal Stage 6, the last of the Tour. Check full race results here. It was fun to see the race in the mountains. Overall I think the tour was a great success. It caught the attention of a lot of people that I think previously thought cycling, and cyclists were just another thing to get in the way of their H3’s on a Tuesday morning commute. Maybe now they will slow down, move over, and wave instead of speeding up, reving the engine and flipping us off.

Enjoy some photos from the last couple of days worth of racing:
