The 5 day cycling event, the Tour of Utah, was held this week. Patty and I made it to 1 of the races. It was a time trial, so 1 rider leaves the starting gate every minute. the best part about going to a time trial race is that you can get close to some of your favorite professional riders. there were many famous racers but i really wanted to see tyler hamilton who rides for Rock Racing (for those of you that know designer jeans, the designer of Rock N Republic jeans owns and manages this team). tyler hamilton is most famous for winning gold in the 2004 olympics in, you guessed it, cycling. after his time trial was over i was able to ask him to sign one of my cycling jerseys. here's a few pics.
Rock Racing is sponsored by cadillac. they definately have the coolest team cars at any race.
this is olympic gold medalist, tyler hamilton

I know nothing about cycling, but I do love Rock & Republic's! And the 'aerodynamic' helmets make me laugh. Glad you had a good time!
How fun! So when are we going to see you in the races- huh Mike?
