What Would Levi Leipheimer Have to Say About The Subprime Meltdown?
Most likely nothing!
He could care less right now, having just won Stage 5, the second time trial of the Tour. Levi also won the opening Prologue and holds the yellow jersey as the overall leader. Congratulations Levi!
So rather than trying to create a cheesy tie-in to explain this digression, let me just simply say:
THANK YOU SACRAMENTO!!
for your tremendous support of the AMGEN Tour of California! May Sacramento forever remain on the tour route. Think about this: the television coverage of this year’s event exceeds what ESPN use to give the Tour de France just a few short years ago. Thanks to Lance for that, (Lemond, just get over it).
As a recreational cyclist, I have the pleasure of riding some of the most beautiful country to be found outside of France and Italy. From the Sierra Century to the Markleeville Death Ride and the Davis Double, Northern California offers spectucular scenery, unbeatable weather, coastal terrain
as gorgeous as the Amalfi Coast and mountains to rival the Alps. I’m just happy that so many of the great European cyclists and team are here this enjoying it. How could they not want to return after experiencing this first hand.
Anyway, these great photos were taken by Randy Pench and Lezlie Sterling, and poached from the Sacramento Bee’s photo gallery. Please go check that out at: http://data.sacbee.com/photography/view/tour?&. Credit and thanks to the Sac Bee, Randy and Lezlie!
Have a wonderful weekend, and hey, about that subprime meltdown thing. Don’t worry about….at least until next week!
