The Amgen Tour of California starts on Sunday. It is the most important bicycle race in the U.S. and is a vibrant display of California scenery. I hope to drive out to one of the stages, just to watch them go by. I hope that some of you are able to see the broadcasts.
Cheers Jim

Did you go Jim? If so, did you get any pics?
I haven't seen anything on UK TV...

I saw some nice photos of the tour about a week ago but can't get them now; however one photo was of them crossing a bridge, it was nicer than this but one gets the picture. The one I found actually had artistic merit as the type of pictures they post at the Voice of America website. cdn.media.cyclingnews.com/2016/05/23/2/20165512_315198_670.jpg

This link takes you to a short video of the stage I attended; just stood along the road and whoosh! www.cyclingfans.com/node/28305More videos at www.cyclingfans.com/tour-of-california/videosWatched from 34 o 20' 44.99" N 118 o 54' 22.09" W This is at the bottom of Grimes Canyon; from there you see a curvy descent and a sandy hairpin Enjoy Jim
