Tour of California 2011 Stage 4

Last year, we went to the Tour of California when it started in San Jose.  We saw Lance and quite a few other big time cycling giants. 

On Wednesday, we drove to Livermore to see the start of the fourth stage of the Tour.  It was the only Bay Area stage start for this year so it was crowded.

Leopard Trek's bicycles

 We did get to see Leopard Trek riders Andy Schlek (he came in 2nd in the 2010 Tour de France) and Jens Voigt (the oldest rider in the Tour).  Dave even got both of their autographs.

The children rang their cowbells as the stage started and then we followed the riders into the hills.  It was a long day but we packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed the time together.
