Thanks for posting this jobob. I may be visiting Cali and checking this out. Has anyone gone before? Looks like good line-up but do pro teams only send out certain riders. I guess what I'm asking is, will Ullrich be there?!?!?! Levi?!?! Floyd?!!?

'Tis a brand new tour. See the press releases for anything us peons know. Anyone have an inside track? I doubt that this far in advance that many will commit except for Hincapie. Wasn't he mentioned as working with them on something?

One of the stages finishes in my town (Santa Rosa) which just so happens to be where Levi lives. This means cycling is actually getting some coverage in the local paper. Here's today's article--it sounds like Levi will be there! GO LEVI!!

Amgen Tour
It seems like this time of year would have a lot of rain/bad weather. Could be interesting.

Decisions, decisions! Do I take the week off to be a tour groupie? Or just attend the local stages?
If this event is successful, it would really be cool if in future years the stages covered other areas of the state. Imagine a race with stages in the redwoods, and in the Sierras, and along the coast, and Death Valley, and so on... Or maybe even stages that include well-known climbs -- like Mt Diablo here in the Bay Area. Ok, maybe I'm dreaming, since I guess the organizers do need to keep the race where the people are.

Sigh, remember the Coors Classic? Ah yeah, you were probably still just a wee itty-bitty thing.

Nope. Google results aren't all that helpful either -- SF to Colorado? Originally Posted by SadieKate
