Are there any cycling fans that are paying attention to the Tour of California?

Today was the prologue, which Levi Leipheimer won.

Cycling News will have very good coverage of the race as the stages are happening. ESPN2 will be showing highlights of the race every night.

Go Leipheimer!

Tomorrow I'm going to Sausalito to watch it. Tuesday I'm working as a Course Marshall at the start in Martinez.

Ah, have fun in Sausalito tomorrow! Being a course marshal is also usually cool (I was a marshal at the SF Grand Prix). Assuming no one decides to jump out in front of the peloton as they come by, everything should be good. :)

I'm just sorry I'll be left downtown and miss it when they ride over some of my favorite hills. At least they do a few laps downtown before they head South.

So "California" is the nef word of the night eh.

Anyway, Floyd Lanis won. I might go and see next year, there's a new store opening in Redondo and Santa Monica so nice time to check out the store too.

Someday I'd like to do something like this... and run a marathon... and so many other things.

Someday you would like to ride a bike in a professional bike race? I am sure many people have the same wish.
