Tim Z and Tom B. did make it out to CA and watched stages 1-3. The weather was miserable, but it was worth it. Here's brief summary, perspective and a couple of pictures:
Stage 1: Watched the finishing circuits in Santa Rosa so it was pretty cool to see the race leaders from Rock Racing, Liquigas and Quick-Step battle it out.
Stage 2: Watched the first KOM climb and then saw them finish in Santa Cruz.
Stage 3: Got to watch the start in San Jose, the first KOM climb and then the circuit finish in Modesto.
There were really a couple of impressions that we walked away with:
Lance is intimidating on the bike, when he’s pulling or climbing his facial expression is just nasty;
You have to spend a lot of time getting in position to see them ride by and in about 12 sec they are gone and it’s over; and
How accessible the riders, their bikes and equipment are to the general public.
Here are a couple of pictures.
