Milton-Copperopolis, CA...Potholes and Patching took the place of Cobblestones as one of the toughest single day "Classics" in California Cycling is in the books. Potential Tour de France winner Levi Leipheimer DQed which left the door open for Benjamin Jacques-Maynes of the Bissell Pro Team to take the race and Scott Nydam from the BMC Pro-Team took the second spot. Rachel Heal took home top honors in the top classification on the women's side of the race. Andrea Silva who took the great shots below mentioned how hard on equipment and riders the race was. She saw crashes, bent wheels and more but the riders just kept on going. There has been some talk of trying coax the Tour of California to make one of the stages through Calaveras County and races like this one...

Bret Harte really started pulling away on the momentum battle. They had multiple scoring opportunities but Calaveras' defense held tough....

Angels Camp, CA...Local Photographer Jason Buck sent us a really stunning photo. It is of a young Bret Harte Baseball player watching a pitch cross the plate just a smidgen too low to be called a strike or to take a swat at. Here's what Jason said "I was shooting at 1/500th of a second and the ball/bat were still a blur. Then I found the right combination. ISO: 1000, F5.6, 1/2500th of a second. He had a good eye since the ball is obviously a 'ball' (not in the strike Zone). Notice how clear the stitching is on the ball...
