Amgen Tour of California

Today starts the Amgen Tour of California, a fantastically exciting cycling event. I was privileged enough to attend the first week last year. What excitement, what thrill! Last year was the inaugural race with Floyd Landis taking the title home. This race was started with a goal to rival the Tour day France one day. More power to them! The Americans are doing well in the world of cycling . . . let’s give them a major stage race to win at home!

Last year, the stats were pretty exciting. There were over 1.3 million on the race course over the 600 mile event and the website had over 367,000 hits. Is this something to watch? Heck yes!

I’m going to give you the quick links to the info. . . .
Watch the race on Versus (formally OLN) with Phil and Paul

Peace Out,
