This stage of the Tour of California bike race went 105 miles from Santa Barbara, through the mountains, to Santa Clarita (Magic Mountain). For this section I was shooting from the back of a motorcycle, weaving in and out of mountain roads, the support vehicle and the riders themselves. At times we were so close to the races I could have extended my arm an knoced them to the ground. Click here to see more pictures>>

The plunge raised money for the Special Olympics. See the pictures >>
