Cascade Lakes Road Race Surprises Me With Gorgeous Lakeside Views

Just a few things since it's already past midnight.

1. The stage is named "Cascade Lakes Road Race" because there are actually some beautiful, crystal clear, blue lakes along the course. I wanted to get out of the car and go swimming.
2. I am starting to form opinions of the different race teams in the caravan. Good and bad and neutral.
3. All my racers were fantastic again today. It was a true team effort, with KR working together with PB&co to bring back the break that gained time through a crash, and then climbing with the best of them. We held both our top individual GC and team GC positions.

Tomorrow is the criterium - the weather is supposed to be HOT, and the racing is supposed to be FAST. Expect excitement.
