Fans out in Full Force at ATOC Stage 2 Finish

There were a ton of fans yesterday at the finish of Stage 2. The streets were lined with people in some places at least 10 deep. We were between the 200 and 150m signs and there were a number of people behind us by the time the finishers arrived. This was the best spot we could get at about 2 hours before the start!

Armstrong helped bring these crowds out no doubt. A few of the people around us were clearly there to see him. Some I don't think understood they'd only see him zip by in a flash. Still, it was great to see so many people interested in cycling in one place.

Here's a shot down Front Street towards the finish line.





People were on rooftops and hanging out of parking structures and windows!
