Stage 3 was a 122 mile route from Auburn to Modesto on mostly flat and rolling terrain. No major climbs on this stage.
I found a great spot on Scott Road with humpy rolling terrain that provided a great backdrop to today's race.
The 7 man breakaway group had about a 4 minute lead on the main pack at this point.

This was a good spot. A pro photographer stops to take photos of the peloton
The pack comes over the horizon . . . how exciting!
A side-blowing headwind forces the peloton to form an eschelon . . . making for fantastic head-on shots
