Tour de California - Anyone going to check it out?
It will be all over California, matriculating south, for eight days.
I might check out the Rock Store stage and the Downtown L.A. Crit. Are any other Pelican cyclists going to see a stage?

I've ridden most of stage 2 so I am really into the Amgen Tour but I'm going to be out of town tomorrow. The ToC stage 2 is so close to my home but I'll be so far away. Sucks.

We are doing the "Tour of Arizona" instead this year... )
On a serious note, its a very tough bike ride, if you can handle it. La Vuelta de Bisbee

No Tour de Cali coverage on Versus today. The weather is too severe to put a helicopter or plane in the air.
