Three Riders in Turn, San Jose – Amgen 2008 Tour of California. San Jose, California. February 20, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.
I arrived too late for the finish of the February 20 Modesto to San Jose stage of the 2008 Amgen Tour of California. As I ran toward the race route through downtown San Jose I saw the first two riders go by a couple hundred feet ahead of me. Aw, darn! Anyway, I set up at the first corner I came to and photographed the rest of the pack as they came through the second-to-last turn of the race.

I’ve made it to all or parts of three stages of the Amgen 2008 Tour of California bicycle race, and I’ve shot a lot of photographs. Many of them will eventually appear on this page, but I’m posting them first into the bicycling section of my gallery – so head on over there if you are interested in these photographs and don’t want to wait to see them on this page. (They are not all posted as I write this, so you may want to check that link again later.)
