AMGEN Tour of California

The AMGEN Tour of California is coming! I'm really excited that California is having a cycling tour and especially with the pro cycling teams that are involved (Discovery, T-Mobile, CSC …). It will be a 700-mile race which will take place on Feb 19-26. The starting line is San Francisco and ending at Redondo Beach. What makes this event even more special is that the tour will also raise funds for cancer care treatment and awareness. All around this is a good thing happening.

On a personal note it’s really interesting how cycling and cancer seem to come together for me. I started cycling when I participated in The Leukemia Society’s Team in Training program which raised funds for cancer research. Now 5 years later I’m still cycling and still helping wherever and whenever I can. I am amazed at how small our world can be sometimes.

I can’t wait for the tour. I’m really looking forward to being apart and witnessing this event.

Thanks for the comment but it's for professional riders only. There's no way I'm doing this tour.
