The Remains Of The Day

I took this photo at about 8:00 Monday night from the eastern end of the State Street Bridge.  That's the United Methodist church on the corner of Hamilton and Second Streets in the background.

Geneva Cycling Grand Prix

 
Geneva played host to an exciting cycling event yesterday!  The 2011 Geneva Cycling Grand Prix was sponsored by local merchant, Bicycle Heaven.  For nearly 12 hours, seven separate races featuring approximately 600 cyclists, wound through the historic, tree-lined streets of Geneva.

The race attracted professional cycling talent from around the world, and was the second stop on the International Cycling Classic, which includes 17 consecutive days of  races throughout Illinois and Wisconsin.  For more information about the tour, click here.
