Bicycles in Rain, 2009 Amgen Tour of California. Sausalito, California. February 16, 2009. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Black and white photograph of bicycle wheels in heavy rain at the start of the Sausalito to Santa Cruz stage of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California professional bicycle stage race.
Reflections on the wet roadway, spray, and the wheels of the competitor’s bikes during the “parade lap” of the Sausalito to Santa Cruz stage of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California. Those who have done enough serious riding to have experienced the sensations of a long ride in cold wet weather will probably identify with this photograph. :-)

I love this photograph and would like to purchase it for my cousin for Christmas. Is that possible?
Hi Peggy:
This is one of my favorite bicycle photographs, too. I made it at the start of a very rainy stage of the Tour of California a few years back.
In answer to the purchase question, yes, all of my photographs are available for purchase or licensing. I’ll send you a separate direct email, Peggy, but for anyone else reading this, there is a page here at the blog with some basic information about purchasing or licensing my photographs.
Thanks!
Dan
Thanks, Rob. It turns out to be one of my favorites, too – and it is entirely different from all the other ATOC shots.
I really like this b&w image Dan. Nicely done.
