Tour of California

We went to downtown Sacramento to watch the prologue of the Tour of California. This was our first time seeing a major cycling event. It was a chance to see the return of Lance Armstrong to cycling. The course was a 3.9km loop around the capitol. Fans lined the street to watch the pros fly by one by one at amazing speeds. Lance was one of the last riders to start. He of course received the largest cheers. People juggled for position as they tried to get a picture of him coming by. Lance ended up finishing tenth, while Fabian Cancellara took the win.
