The TOC (Tour of California) ended on Sunday in Long Beach. Levi Leipheimer won the overall, Juan Jose Haedo won the Sprint Leader, Robert Gesink won Best Young Rider, and Christophe Laurent won King of the Mountains. Overall attendance of the race from start to finish is estimated to be 1.6 million people. I wonder if I'll be counted twice since I watched the race ride by in two spots? It was a cool experience to get out there and see in person the amount of effort the riders and teams have to go through to compete. I think next year Timber and I will volunteer for the San Jose part (assuming they have one) and take the whole day off. I think as the years go on this race will get more and more popular, and for good reason. It seemed to be very well planned out and executed.
