Tour of California

Who's going to watch the tour?

Stages | Amgen Tour of California

I will be at top of Sierria climb (KOM) at stage #3 to cheer Lance Armstrong. It's a good climb on a road bike but it always amazes me to see these pro-riders attack it at incredible speed

I'm a mountain biker by heart but Lance is my hero

A pic from last year tour on top of Mt. Hamilton right next to Lick Observatory:

And got some cow bells from Toyota team:

It took me 2 hours to climb that mountain and they did it in 50 minutes or something. Fawk!

I'm gonna skip out early from school and head up to see the finish in Paso Robles. It sucks that the first year I don't have class at the finish time is the year they don't finish here in San Luis Obispo.

I'm going to Santa Rosa to watch the finish of the first stage. I thought about watching the beginning at Davis and then driving to Santa Rosa to hang out the rest of the day. I'm still trying to decide if I want to take the kids to watch the trials in Sacramento on Saturday!

Man I wish I was able to check it out. I tried to get a sales call trip set up to catch a stage or two but no joy.

Hey mustardFJ-did you have your rig on Sierra Rd last year-I recall seeing some LC's that looked pretty damn nice.

i'm excited, stage 5 starts right outside the front doors of my job. i'm hoping to get hooked up with V.I.P. PASSES TO MEET LANCE , I CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT WEEK. sorry if it sounds like i'm rubbing it in your faces. ;p

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked as the final stage goes through my town not once, but also a second time as they finish their loop. Hope to plant my LX450 on a nice perch to get a good view as they whiz by.

We get to catch stage 5 up-close too.

 

[bugsnbikes]

I may head up to the Howell Mtn Rd. stage 2 big climb and catch some early morning singletrack at Angwin.

It's starting here in Davis but it's supposed to dump rain. There is quite a buzz about it here especially since there are so many cyclists in Davis. Should be a good one.

 

[Matt K]

A rainy prolog- this should be fun to watch as TT bikes SUCK in the wet!

 

[Mr. Toad]

Lance is douchetastic.

 

[Matt60]

Lance is douchetastic.

agreed

 

[Mr. Toad]

Cancellara must've had a motor.

 

[bugsnbikes]

motor or EPO.......your guess......

I just read on Bloomberg that Lance's bike was jacked from the team truck last night.. along with some alphabet soup foreign names that I am not familiar with. 4 bikes total stolen from the Astana truck.

 

[Mr. Toad]

Cruiser content. Anyone's on here?

Edit: Looks like twitterhost didn't like the link.[/url]

Stage 4 breakaway. At least one doper present. Near top of Crane Valley.

 

[Mr. Toad]

Cruiser with a Paki top on Palomar?

 

[mustardfj40]

Looks like a cruiser?

Lance didn't win this one and probably was getting ready for TdF. It was pouring here when the tour passed by. Today it's sunny outside after rained last night...I'm going out for a ride.
