Team Jolt gets polka dotted . . .

6:00 AM Thursday morning, seven riders heed the call and duly assemble at the corner of Superior St and Lester River Road, ready to do battle with road closures and each other.
Within minutes, the bunch is formed and riding like a machine
(again, as usual . . . the staff photographer is somewhere off the back)

As the sweat begins to pour, it almost looks like we are having "fun?"


(We somehow manage to get Steve past the first available 6:30 coffee stop)
Suddenly, and without warning . . . at the base of the day's only categorized climb, the rider from Team Jolt . . . Jolts ahead . . . as if possessed!
Bravely he rides, faster and faster . . .
. . . and captures the coveted . . .
POLKA DOT JERSEY!

    My sponsors at Jolt will be so pleased to learn of this honor... assuming Jolt is still in business.
    This shot is more impressive if you ignore the fact that the team photographer had to ride out in front of me to take it. Not sure that's how it happens on the Tour.
