For those of you know who know me personally, you'll always see me carrying my camera in my hand, as I LOVE photographing everything and anything. And if we've ever had a conversation or two together, you'll know that I've been an avid cyclist/triathlete for the longest time. I've always loved the color and splendor of cycling, and today was a day when I could combine the two and have a super fun time doing so!
For all you cycling fans out there, the Tour of California was going on this week, and today, they visited good ol' downtown LA for stage 7's individual Time Trial. Here were some of the fastest and greatest cyclists visiting my home town, scorching up the streets on their uber fast time trial bikes.
Enjoy the photos! It was a beautiful day today - perfect weather for photography and cycling!

These pictures are awesome. I want to order prints! Especially of my boyfriend Fabian. Did you have a press pass? What a great background. I want to see everything.
