2007 Tour de Georgia - Stage 7

April 22, 2007 · Filed Under atlanta, cycling, tour de georgia 

Yesterday was so much fun that today Kelly and I loaded up the kiddos and went down to Centennial Park to watch the final stage of the Tour de Georgia. I was amazed at the crowds today. I had heard that the crowds this year were smaller than in past [Lance Armstrong] years, but today the streets and sidewalks were flooded with fans. It was great to see.

Here’s a picture of George Hincapie pulling teammate (and overall GC winner) Janez Brajkovic towards the end of the race:

Hopefully the Tour de Georgia will be around for many years. However, as I learned in an AP story on SI.com today, the Tour is struggling to come up with sponsors and is not profitable for the year.

Today’s pictures begin here.
