Tour of California Countdown - How one journalist has prepared for Lance's arrival!

Santa Cruz County residents and pro cyclists Andy and Ben Jacques-Maynes are the only brothers and only identical twins racing in the Tour of California. I interviewed them for several projects.

NEWSFLASH:
On Monday, February 16, 2009, Santa Cruz, California, will play host to the biggest pro bicycling race in the United States - the Amgen Tour of California. This is the first time my city has been involved in this race, which is now in its 4th year.

EATING, SLEEPING, BREATHING Tour of California!
As an adventure travel and endurance sports journalist — and a big fan of my adopted town of Santa Cruz, where I have lived since 1993 — I've been involved for months in multiple media projects related to this pro bicycling race - here are links to my stories. The schedule for the TV show I appear on is listed at the bottom.

Facebook Group: 2009 Amgen Tour of California - Santa Cruz now has 500+ members! I created this and maintain it as a labor of love so thrilling to see it grow and include members of the international cycling community.
