I got into town early so I could get a nice spot to park then heading toward the start festival to check it out. They had various booths around but nothing too special. I picked up a t-shirt from the merchandise store. I was hoping to get a cycling cap but all they had were baseball caps. They did not have many t-shirts left and didn't have the one I really wanted.
About 10am the team cars and trailers started filling in. I took plenty of pictures of them. Below are just a select few.
It was cool to see all the bikes close up and see the top of the line gear on them and the difference between all the bikes. As a brit I had to go check out Team Sky as the British team. It was cool to hear some familiar accents! I was lucky enough to get a picture with Ben Swift.
I also spotted them filming a quick little ad for the awesome Road ID!
After all that I went to pick out a spot on the road. I decided to watch on College Ave as I would be able to see them come by twice and then just a short walk up to see them head north towards Foothill Blvd. Apologies for these pics, I forgot to change the camera speed but I did catch some video too!
After that I head back to the car to pick up the wife so we could head over to Glendora to watch the sprint up Glendora Ave.
