The day started with rain - it poured. The team arrived about noon and we rode at 2:30. The guys look really good for so early in the year. I have a really good feeling about the team this year.

A rainbow appeared right before we left, but it was a false promise. It rained for the first hour or so - it was wet and muddy, with lots of debris on the roads. The guys climbed really fast and steady - the good thing was that there was very little traffic.

I took a few shots, but it was too rainy - I don't want to screw up my D70 by getting it wet. I'll put up a few images in my smugmug gallery if this iffy wireless connection will handle it.
