The Amgen Tour of California

In February Jill, Byron and I went down to Pasadena at the Rose Bowl and watched the riders of the Amgen Tour of California finish there stage 7 from Santa Clarita to Pasadena. Vendors were out from bike company's to herbal life (Byron and I enjoyed a nice shake) and we picked up as much free stuff as we could find. The riders finished the stage at the Rose Bowl and did about 5-6 circuits of a final loop before the race ended. We got to see a number of break aways and a lot of world renowned riders in the main pelaton.

Whoa! Jill still has that yellow and blue vest from TVJA! I remember when we went and bought those!

Looks like you had a lot of fun!
