    Why would any city want to be associated with the finish of the premier road riding event in North America? Hopefully the city will realize that sponsoring the final stage is a great association with the cycling community. Maybe they start at the Oaks again and ride the Rockstore climb a few times. That was the place to be.
    I am just glad they are back, it is about time.
    Happy wandering roads in the SM's

    They're headed to Mountain High this year too. I wonder which route they will take?

    Gosh, maybe it's at least partially because the title sponsor (and a previous employer of mine) of the race happens to be headquartered there ;~)

    Maybe they can grab some fresh EPOGEN to take home for the TdF while they're in the neighborhood.

    Looks like Santa Clarita went for the 2fer on starts. Not as good as having them finish in your town. They just hop on and ride (cruise) out of town.
