If you have ANY interest in professional cycling and are anywhere near San Diego on May 15th, you must find a place on the course to watch stage 1 of this year's Tour of California (TOC). The TOC draws the best cyclists in the world to get their racing legs geared up for the Tour de France. The TOC is California's largest sporting event, with millions of fans showing up along the route during this weeklong race. San Diego has an extra-special place in this year's race for two reasons: It's the opening city, plus the stage starts AND finishes here...a rare event, indeed. Here are photos from a stage at the 2012 TOC where I was joined by my son Mickey, nephew James, and James' girlfriend Mary Ellen.
Find your way to the PB/Mission Beach area for a place to watch the start and finish. For more info, visit the official site: http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com. See you there!
