Amgen Tour of California

anyone out watching this? i did. i will put up a picture of them in Sacramento with only 10 miles to go.

It passed within 10 miles of my house but I woke up early enough to go to Church and forgot all about it until too late. I might shoot down to Davis tomorrow. I've never seen a Pro Peloton, and I bet its something to see go by.

this was my first time. i filmed it on an iphone and i was looking through the iphone the whole time and then all of the sudden they were screaming by like 3 feet from me! there were 4 guys about 10 seconds ahead. then the peleton, then about 1 million cars with 10 million bikes on top. and lots of cops

Quite the parade! Thanks for posting that. What part of Folsom Blvd. were you on? My wife and I were going to catch the tour going through Calistoga last year (we were staying there for the weekend), but the weather was absolute crap that day; cold and raining hard! We left the pros to it and went home early. It's a long time to wait for all that to flash by. Must be a lot more fun to watch a criterium...

Wow the video did a pretty good job of capturing the rush of the peloton.
Thanks for that.

That break away group had a pretty good lead.
