TOUR DE TOONA BUZ IN ALTOONA

Downtown Altoona, Pennsylvania, was all about The International Tour De Toona. The streets were lined with spectators while the cyclists did laps along 11th and 12th Avenue. The men's teams started at 11:A.M followed by the women's team's at 2:00 P.M. The hot summer sun was a real challange for the cyclists. Plenty of volunteers were present keeping them hydrated and safe.

Yesterday, Marina Jauantre, came in first place in the Women's Blair County Road Race. While Scott Moninger, came in first place in the Pro Men's. The steep mountain roads with a distance of 92.9 miles was a real challenge for both.

The pictures were taken in downtown Altoona today. I was able to get a few good shots of the women cyclists. I couldn't resist a few snap shots of one of the cyclists cars with all the advertisements painted all over it. I'll try to post tomorrow who won the races today. It was way too hot for me to stand out in that sun and wait on the results. HA!
