Tour of America's Dairyland (part I) - cycling

The Tour of America's Dairyland (ToAD) is an 11 day series of races across southern Wisconsin in June and is rapidly growing in stature. Here's some of the shots I've taken these past few days with half of the series still remaining. The Kenda Pro Cycling / 5 Hour Energy team has a strong local influence with a number of riders from this area. They are out to dominate and have won the first 5 races. Note the "cow print" leader jerseys - black for stage winner, yellow for overall. The last 4 races of the series, this up coming weekend, are on the national criterium calendar (NCC) and we expect more top teams to show up.

very nice set, love cycling photos. favorite has to the finish shot.

Love the "snaking" of riders in the first photo. Awesome set.

Very nice... I actually find some of your shots on facebook pages, of the riders.

Great shots. I too love the snaking action in the first shot, it looks really good.

Thanks everyone.

Yeah, I've been posting a set from every race on FB. Good publicity and advertising for the webpage ... world wide!

Well, they've got the cow 'print' jerseys and at some venues the podium girls had cow print belts. (I don't have access to my pix right now). After each Pro race, all the riders got complementary cold chocolate milk.
