Floyd Landis Bested by Young Turk from Colorado
And narrowly beats an Ozzie (Though I thought I heard the announcer say Tasmania.)
Tour of the Battenkill finished a few hours ago. Here are some middling shots from my point and shoot. It was great fun, but cold and rainy. A lot of riders dropped out due to the mud and the cold. They just didn't have the extra calories or whatever to deal with the cold, wet, muddy weather.

62 miles later, lap one. Here is the lead pack, though none of these guys placed.

More Cold, muddy riders. Orange and blue is Caleb Fairly's team, that might be him, it was hard to tell. That grimacing guy in green is Floyd.

More muddy riders and a Cliff Bar. A couple of hours later the sun came out and this kid crossed the line about two or three minutes before Floyd.

Another shot of Caleb and here is Floyd, who got an enormous reception, much louder and longer than the Young Turk's.

Another shot of Floyd crossing and then him chilling on the steps of The Rice Mansion waiting for the winner to get tested for performance enhancing drugs.

Here is third place Queenslander Jay Robert Thomas. I was getting a beer when he crossed the line so I have no finishing photos of him. Fitting, perhaps, since he is Australian.
Speaking of fitting, our county "dairy princess" seems to be taking measurements herself as she doles out bottles of chocolate milk from a sponsor, one of our local dairies.

Pepsi was a sponsor and so was Battenkill Dairy, so the winners got a bottle of each. The second shot was a shout out to Battenkill Dairy who make a very righteous chocolate milk.

Damn, those pictures look like they were taken by a pro.
Oh wait, they were... good one to.

The Washington County Dairy Princess looks like she's about had it with the cheese.

Floyd's wife crashed head on into my brother's Murano because she was waiting to make a left with her wheels turned and got rear ended. Just like in Garp. ....except nobody got killed.
