Default Trip Report - Tour of Utah

I bike commuted to work today with no intention of leaving early, but I got a wild hair, I told everyone I had a bike race to watch and hopped on mine for a fast ride home, shower & short drive.... Made it JUST IN TIME for the start, which was good, as I needed to leave well before it was over to pick up my littlest from day care.

Take it easy on the photos. I am not a photographer and I know the settings are WAY OFF(think maybe I'd think a little about where they were after coming from a hockey rink) & there is nothing remarkable...but everyone loves photos of people riding bikes....

This first one is a pic of the bobsled run.... The Prologue was held at Utah Olympic Park, which is where they had some events, including the bobsled, at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games....

It is a 7% average climb, but REALLY short(just over 4"), so for most these guys....a relative walk in the park.
