Here are the race leaders - about 5 minutes ahead of the rest.
Here are the rest of the riders.
Yes, the Giro d'Italia started in Amsterdam this year. We had the unusual opportunity to watch the Tour of Italy in the Netherlands. Stage 2 of the race went from Amsterdam to Utrecht and passed within 5 miles of our town. We rode our bikes over the race course and watched them speed by.
Since I had the camera, I actually didn't see any of the race. I clicked as fast as I could and only got a few pictures. The whole group passed in just a couple of seconds.
We abandoned our plans to ride the train to Utrecht to watch the finish because I injured my leg this morning and can barely walk. Biking was OK, but walking was really a bummer. Utrecht would have involved a lot of walking and would have been pretty crowded. I don't do so well with Dutch crowds because I'm so much shorter than everyone else. Now, I'm trying to rest my leg so I can have fun for the long weekend coming up. Hopefully a few days of rest is all it will take.

Great Pictures! We have been wathching on TV. The Tour of California starts today and will be on Versus starting at 4:00pm (our time).
What did you do your leg? Is it better?
