Last Saturday the 14th we attended the 2009 AMGEN Cycling Tour with Robby, Cami and the boys. It was a very cold and very windy day but luckily only a few raindrops fell. It was a pro-log time trial in downtown Sacramento and only covered a few miles of closed down street. It was enjoyable to walk around and stand feet away from the riders as they warmed up and also take free hand-outs from all the tents set up. A cyclist (like the Walker boys) appreciated the very expensive bikes that cost over $10,000 (like Lance's bike which was stolen that night outside his hotel). Lance Armstrong has returned to ride again and made the event very exciting. Although he finished tenth it was thrilling to see a national hero like him in person and ride. Robby and Cami's boys did pretty well considering how cold it was. It was a lot of fun and we look forward to going to the event in future years. In the photos are Lance Armstrong and last year Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre.
