May 16-23. Lance IS racing again. I believe they are starting in So Cal this year and ending in Nor Cal. Weather should be a LOT nicer. :)

Thanks for the comments. They rode up the hill like it was flat. It was 41 degrees and raining. Amazing to watch.

@XNA2200C Other way around, they start in Nevada City, CA, and go to LA.

amgen is a pharmaceutical company that produces the most problematic drug used by cheats in cycling EPO

You think anyone would frown upon a fan giving the riders a little push up the hill? lol
