The only bad part of being at the Media Center at the top of Brasstown Bald today was that our viewpoint didn't give us a good look at the riders finishing. I was very close to the finishers less than 50 meters from the line, but I was 25 feet above the riders and they were riding practically against the barriers on my side of the road. I don't think any of my digital camera photos of the riders at the finish came out.

On the other hand, I was ideally situated during the press conference. I was less than 10 feet from Christian Vandeveld and Lance Armstrong. Tom Danielson was three people away from me, so I didn't have quite as clear a shot of him.
