What day and where is that gonna be?
The day I flew in (Saturday) I immediately went from LAX to the bike shop I rented my road bike from. Highly recommend the shop too (Topanga Creek Bicycles). They were great to deal with, which was nice considering there are not a lot of places in LA to rent a road bike. I got a short ride on Saturday afternoon but I was pretty toast after the long flight. Yesterday I got a nice 30 mile ride in with a little climbing (actually compaired to my flat roads South of Boston, it was a lot of climbing). Today, I plan on getting a longer ride...hopefully 50 to 60 miles. My back is a little tender from an unfamiliar bed so I am not sure how far I can go. So far I am loving it though.
The TT stage will be stage 7 and it is being held this coming Saturday. I am planning on hanging at the start/finish which is in front of the Staples Center (Home of the Lakers/Kings). I can't believe they are shutting down the roads for that stage. Speaks volumes for how popular cycle racing is getting in the US.
