I was in the feed zone and finishing area taking photos at Wente RR instead of racing due to a sore knee. Got shots of most of the second wave (11:45 and after) groups, including a good series on the E4 finish.
It's a major disappontment to not have been in the race, but I've got to take it easy. My top-end fitness has been on the upswing (best ever, I'd say), but the knee got sore at Copperopolis and after some ups and downs getting better, it took an unexpected turn for the worse on Friday after a relatively easy pre-race tune-up ride. I'll probably miss any race with the word hill in the name these next couple weeks (Cat's Hill and Berkeley Hills), but am setting my sights on the May 9 criterium in Pleasanton. If not, Modesto RR and crit.
