On Thu 19 Feb 2009, the Amgen bicycle tour comes through southeast Paso Robles CA around 3:30 PM on its way to the downtown area. I believe Lance Armstrong is the third rider in the first pack, at least according to an acquaintance.
I was in Visalia when they started out which was around 10:30am. They were riding very slowly as they passed and all the bikes were grouped tightly together. The race certainly got more exciting when it got to the finish.
That same CHP was tooting his sirene back in Visalia too. I'm surprised it wasn't worn out by the time he got to PR!

Nice shot. The Amgen tour came through Davis on a very rainy wet day. It was horrible.
