Enjoy these photo galleries from Willie

Some fantastic photos of the 2012 Amgen Tour of California from Willie Reichenstein. Thank you Willie for your wonderful photography from the race, and for all the new friends you made out on the road for Pedal Dancer. Through you we get the feeling of being a fan at a professional bike race. Thanks!
