Stage 2 running Monday right by my house. Might have to find a reason to work from home.
Do you think the boss will let you? I hear he's a real bear.

I rode around Tahoe today, and the ladies were out in force, prepping for their start tomorrow. Might have to drive down and catch some of the action tomorrow. Anybody going to be at Carson Pass?

They came down the street one down from mine today. The green guy won the stage.
It was crazy and a little depressing how many Highway Patrol and support vehicles there were. I would say a minimum of 250, probably way more.

A few years ago, the bike race came down the coast, north to south. The prevailing winds pushed the riders along, like little colorful sailboats.
I think they call that meteorological doping.

Welp, sorry to all you Sagan fans.
my money always goes on the home team, which means anyone from Caly! Cept Neilson Powless comes from Roseville near wwhere i was born, that makes hima blood!Ha. Frick'in Frenchie's! Anyway, The deck this year for the Race was surely "stacked" by adding the gruesome "Gibraltar Grind"(as we used to call it BITD). It takes an entirely different physiology to pump speed down E. Cabrillo compared to floating up the 14% grade on Gibraltar pass. Sagan and Cavendish were 20 minutes behind the leader, practically last. Yet they were 1 and 2 in Sacto. One trait of the hill climbs is that it spreads eveeryboby out and there isn't the "average" time of the Peloton given to all the riders coming in behind the winner. This seems like a stupid Socialist law, where did it ever come from? Lol.
Wonder what the race would look like if everyone was timed individually

Carson pass was windy as as heck and cold on the 19th. I watched the start in Lodi then drove up. Bill Walton,the basketball player, was riding in one of the many groups that rode the pass before the race came through. It must have been a long grind up that pass almost all up hill from before Jackson.
