Solvang Day 5 - Tour of California TT

The Tour of California time trial in Solvang is one of the highlights of the race.  It's where the general classification gets sorted out and it's the day we have off to do whatever we like at camp.

My day started with my athlete Jenn Reither coming up from LA to visit and go for a spin.  We got to catch up a bit in person, see some world class riders warm up while we spun around the course (Ivan Basso says "hi"), drink some coffee, and stand on large trucks:

After that, we joined Jim and Mieke from Quarq on the first climb of the course and watched the riders as the started their races.  Then, we headed down to the staging area and gawked at the stars, some of whom gawked back:

We finished with dinner at the Los Olivos Cafe, which is always a pleasure.  It was extra special this time as the rest of the camp treated Jason, who is our mechanic, and I to quite a feast.  Tomorrow we plan to do a sweet 6 hour spin to finish camp on a high note.
