I didn't leave Berkeley until 10:00 AM and arrived at the race parking lot rather late. I was going to take shots of riders going over the pass but I missed the Flynn exit off of I-580. If you're thinking... what's a Patterson Pass Road Race album without any photos of riders crawling up the steps through the stiff wind then I don't blame you. Anyway, I spent some time at the finish area taking these photos and then went home via the pass for a few scenic shots. -- Steve, August 13, 2005
