It’s raining! Now what?
Funny, they are asking us to plan ahead, why didn’t they
annoying
This tour is bringing revenue into our city, personally I am grateful SCV has the opportunity to be a host to the Amgen tour every year. It’s a couple days, it could be worse, no one could want to come here
What time does the time trial begin?

Maybe you should come my way
It took my son 1hr 15 min to get home to Saugus from COC. Poor guy. He was so frustrated.
Here is a link to the map http://files.ctctcdn.com/a14deeec001/967742de-8ce4-48a9-860b-cffe8bb8dffb.pdf
Also, in all fairness to the City, Terry Prather, I do not know of anyone who can pre-plan for snow in Big Bear in May that could possible change the route for a race like this. Seriously, think before you complain. I think it is a great thing to have something like this come to our City even though we may be inconvenienced for a few hours with road closures.
If you get stuck just stop and enjoy the race.
Don’t bother fighting it. Go into any coffeehouse, store, etc. and just wait it out.
We can always use the money in SCV from this event. Relax a little. I work on Turnberry Lane and will be working around this today too.
I leave work around 2:30 for Saugus so I will have to practice what I preach:)
Great Day for bike Racing will be fun to watch
