Tour of Calif bike race right behind my house today-twice!
The last leg of this bike race is finishing up in downtown Escondido this afternoon. It goes right behind my house twice. They just passed about a 1/4 mike before they turned up Lake Wohlford Rd. on the way to the Palomar Mtn climb. I know those roads well! Then, they come back down later today and make the turn at my neighborhood to finish a few miles away. Kinda cool.
It was sort of anti-climactic(SP?) in that they were past in about 15 seconds. Then, the support vehicle parade. My guess is the next pass will see them spread out a bit more. I told my wife I could lob balloons of paint or something over the back fence at Lance Armstrong and the other riders and make the evening news.
