Rund um Köln 2008 Part II

Sunday, 23rd March 2008. Temperature around 3 to 4 degrees Celsius and 
sunny /partly clouded.


40 meter before the finish. This street is with in an commercial or
industrial complex. As you can see, Schwalbe and Milram are the
main contributors to the race.


40 meters behind this barricade, there is a finish line.



I walked along the street and then saw the Milram trailer arrive.
This trailer has been spotted at the finish of various races (as far as I
remember, Bayern Rundfahrt, Drei Lander Tour and Rund um Köln)
Inside this trailor, there are promotional gadgets for Milram products
and Team Milram.


Monday, 24th March 2008. It was cloudy and chilly in the morning.


I arrived at the Stadium (soccer) around 7:30 and it started to snow!



It snowed and snowed until ...



One hour later, there was 3 cm of snowfall in the area.



This is the parking lot in front of the hotel. Bike racing, anyone?



Dan Dryer. At the McDonald's I took this picture. This Dan Dryer
is popular in Germany. I see them a lot. It is a Danish product.

Check it out and find about it.



Mechanics of Silence-Lotto used this Honda power generator to fire up the
air compressor.



It is nice to have a power generator while you go on a camping trip.



This is the men's room of Linderhotel, where most of the participants were
staying. Why did I take the picture of the men's room?



So this is what we aim at. It makes us, men, feel compelled to aim
our cannon at this annoying fly. It is a psychologically compulsive
habit for us. Men are natural fire fighters, gunslingers or something.

This ploy makes men use the john clean as it induces less sprinkles.
OK, this is a man thing.
