Amgen Tour of California 2009

This years Tour of CA fell on a Saturday and I was able to enjoy the full experience of seeing the time trials for the first time held in downtown Sacramento. It was great to see the world class riders up close and see them ride at full speed on the 2.5 mile course.Julia and I @ the Lifestyle Festival where Mark and I won a pair of expensive sunglasses from VSP.
Starting Gate ramp, spectators five rows deep.

Picnic on the lawn thanks to Mark and Tracey: Julia, Lorraine, Jerry, Mark, and Tracey.

It was a great Valentines Day for me to spend time with friends, I got to see Lance Armstrong, and to hang out with my favorite person, Julia. The weather was clear dispite the wind and it being a little overcast. Thank you to those who came out and braved the weather and to share a new experience with me.

Lance is the man, but can he swim 70 laps like RacerD? Oh, by the way, I heard you tried to steal Armstrong's bike.
