My husband is used to my fascination with football and basketball, but he seemed nonplussed today when I suggested we walk the mile or so from our home to one of the points on the Amgen Tour of California route. He not only walked with me, but he also took some photos as well. As you can see, the group went by so quickly that even our digital camera couldn’t keep up.
Even though this group was just a couple of miles from the finish line, no clear leaders had emerged.
Being new to this business of cycling, we were not expecting to see how closely the support cars drove to the racers. It looked a little bit like NASCAR out there. Our favorite car was the Jelly Belly car.
The rest of Roger’s pictures can be seen here. Updates on the Tour can be found here. Read the AP account of Paolo Bettini’s win in the San Luis Obispo stage on ESPN. This may not be football, but it was an entertaining view of a new sport for us.
