So today (sunday) I got to see Lance Armstrong win the Nevada City Classic, in Nevada City, CA.
I recorded the last bit of the 2nd to last lap, final lap, and the victory lap. Skip to 1:50 to see lance.
I was basically at the bottom of the course, where they slow down around the 1st hairpin turn. At this part they would fly by at about 30mph.
There were a few times where Lance got a little too close for comfort, but for the most part I just locked the focus at 2 meters. :)
Heres a quick video of the end-of-race interview with Lance Armstrong recorded by the local newspaper, The Union.
The video above shows just over one complete lap. Its crazy how fast they are going! right where the video ends is approximately where I was standing. I could even see myself in the video :)
The Course was 1.1miles around thru the downtown city streets, for 40 laps. It was really awesome!
...and yes, Lance won the event...his first since returning from his 3 and a half year hiatus.
