The Amgen Tour of California is headed to the Bay!

by Jessica Blomstrom, web editor 5/14/2013

America’s biggest race kicked off to a stellar start on May 12th down in the sweltering heat of Escondido, but the world’s top cyclists are making their way north to our more temperate climes this week! By Friday, May 17 the peloton will have hit San Jose, and the fun will truly begin (for us, at least). Yeah, we Basementeers are not ashamed to admit that we are the hugest cycling nerds in the universe, and neither wind nor rain nor broken chains will keep us from cheering on our favorite teams! We’ll be donning our favorite jerseys and polishing our lucky cowbells to a mirror finish all week, and we want you out there with us! Here’s our schedule of events:
