  • Bicycles were everywhere in the vicinity of Water St.
  • The undercard for the headline race was the super-entertaining Bike Messenger Relay. This is, predictably, the last-place entry.
  • An ONCE rider leads an early lap.
  • Early breakaway action.
  • Close to the action.
  • An ONCE and a Saturn up front.
  • Right about here, a break of 25 riders got away and stayed away for the rest of the afternoon.
  • John Lieswyn of 7up, larger than life.
  • Danny Pate of Prime Alliance/TIAA-CREF moves to the fore. Pate was an absolute monster today, powering the break for laps at a time.
  • The break dives into the corner off the back straightaway.
  • A colorful bunch corners hard.
  • Danny Pate again, hammering.
  • OK, the action is starting to heat up. The peloton strings out, chasing the break.
  • Pate, once again.
  • A 7up leads a Sierra Nevada and a Jelly Belly. Ironic that all three of these teams are sponsored by things that professional cyclists can't eat or drink during the season.
  • With about 10 laps to go, Olympic track cycling gold medalist Marty Nothstein took off on a solo break.
  • US Postal's Tony Cruz bridged up to Nothstein with ONCE's Jose Azevedo and the three looked to have a nice gap...
  • ...but the chase group got closer on the next lap...
  • ...and the next. The 20-something chasers would duel it out in a sprint. Storm clouds were beginning to gather (the literal kind, as well as the figurative ones).
  • The pace quickened for the final laps.
  • The riders go faster still.
  • With about 5 laps to go, a huge gust of wind howled though the concrete canyon, toppling a 100-foot section of barricade, just missing the riders. Course marshals jumped out to right the barricade as the race sped on.
  • With raindrops beginning to fall, the sprint is on!
  • As the racers crossed the finish line, the skies just unleashed, sending fans scurrying into the cover of office buildings' porticoes.
  • Nothstein, after a DNF here last year, won the group sprint to take the race. His postrace interviews had to be conducted from the safety of an umbrella.
