Amgen Bike Race Comes to Santa Cruz

The largest cycling event in America, the 2009 Amgen Tour of California is a Tour de France-style cycling road race presented by AEG that challenges the world’s top professional cycling teams to compete along a demanding, recently expanded, 750-mile course from Sacramento to Escondido from February 14-22, 2009.

Today, the AMGEN tour is visiting our home town of Santa Cruz! It is an exciting day with lots of fanfare surrounding the return of Lance Armstrong. For those of you in town, get off your butt and head down town. The entire town is abuzz with Lance fever. You don't want to miss this!
