More photos from vacation!

Stage 4, an 84 mile loop up to Mt Bachelor. Francisco Mancebo took the podium for this one. He rides for Rock Racing, but notice the Spanish flag on his jersey sleeve, this indicates he is the Spanish National Champion. Both he and Oscar Sevilla made noteworthy appearances in the Tour De France from 2000-2005, finishing in the top, but in 2006 they were 2 of many athletes linked to Operacian Puerto .

Ahh we love Oscar, wearing the yellow jersey, still the points leader (he went on to win the overall).

After watching racing, we got on our bikes and enjoyed a few of the many awesome trails Bend has to offer!

Stage 5, Saturday night the downtown Crit. This is how these guys raced for 90 minutes. We were at corner 3, and they would lap back within a minute, so crazy and fast!
Rocks team leading the peloton, you can see Oscar in yellow and right behind him with the tattoo is his teammate Ivan Dominguez, who won the crit.

Sunday stage 6, Awbry Butte circuit race. The men did 5, 17 mile laps around here. We positioned ourselves with Jake at the King of the Mountain!

Such a great place. We are already planning our vacation to come back next year.
Oh and for those who didn't know who the picture below was of, it's Orlando Bloom. We ran into him in our hotel the 1st day, and what a nice guy, so polite, and of coarse beautiful!
