This week, the biggest bike race in America, the Amgen Tour of California, came riding through our city. We set up camp for a couple hours on a street corner hoping to catch a glimpse of the famous Lance Armstrong. As another onlooker was quoted saying, "we felt the wind of Lance." Good luck figuring out which one he was in the swarm of cyclists that sped by so fast we hardly had time to turn our heads to watch them round the corner we had carefully scouted out for "the best viewing" we could find. For future reference, if I want a picture of Lance, I'll get one off the internet and set my camera down so I can more fully enjoy the gust of energy that radiated off the road during the race. We had a great time out in the California sunshine drawing with chalk and anticipating the arrival of the cyclists with other enthusiasts.

Lucky you just to have been there!! It looks cold too - I'm jealous.
It may not be Lance, but the yellow blur a little to the right of center is Levi Leipheimer. He's was the overall tour champion.
