Tour of California - spoilers allowed

Snow in the mountains! Blasphemous! They were still whining during Stage 2 about the cold weather during the broadcast. What--they don't have snow on the mountain in Europe?

Zabriskie tweeted a video of the snow out his hotel window.

Thanks for the video Luv. That looks fun. I've watched the Tour of Missouri from the side of the highway, but in town looks more fun

You're welcome It was fun watching them come around the corner. Last year I was standing 3 blocks west on the same street and only got a quick shot of them whizzing by on the straightaway.

Due to the rain they kept their speed down, so luckily no crashes. Last year when it was dry there was a crash near the corner I was standing on this year.

we had reservations for 3 nites in tahoe to watch the opening stages. when i broke my thumb earlier this year i had to use up all my sick and vacation days so we had to cancel all our plans for the rest of the year.

now i am so glad i didnt drive 12 hours to tahoe!!

we spent our best vacation EVER at the ATOC with trek travel in feb of 2008, but it was COLD every day. i thought it would be better now that it's in may. we saw two southern stages last year and loved it. i was looking forward to this year until the weather turned.

but this year -- without cavendish, cancellara, boonen -- i think i'm glad i'm watching the giro d'italia from home instead of freezing in california.
