Beautiful course
Brutal course
Maura, Directeur Sportif for the Santa Cruz Mountains Challenge. One e-mail message from her ruined my week-end.
The Santa Cruz boys who proved too fast for me to hang onto. I think if I rode a little harder and put the camera away it might help but I really like capturing the vistas.
Purty
Jeff trying to pull me back to the pack.
