Amgen Bike Tour Sacramento - Hey that's Pooks & BHS!

Yesterday, Pooks and BHS had a fine day at the Amigen Bike Tour stage of Sacramento. Even though both of them had their colds to contend with, they stood out in the cool weather to receive the body of cyclists (peloton?) on their final leg of the norcal tour. As the cyclists poured over the Tower Bridge and into the final laps around the capitol, Pooks and BHS stood on L Street and marvelled at the colorful blur of riders as they crossed the finish line. Pooks and BHS were so excited to partake of this California race, but it seemed so anti-climatic in those final few seconds, Pooks said, especially after all the waiting, the buzzed anticipation of the riders.

Ah, isn't that the way it usually is, though? The path, the journey, the time spent between father and son -- that's where it's at.

BTW, the Sac Bee and other newspapers thought my two boys were photogenic enough to print in their article about the Amigen Tour.
