Tour de France or Tour de California. Seeing as they’re the only ones I know of, I’ll consider them my favorite.

Well… I’m sure there will be at least one time in the future when I wish I went to the bathroom before the race.

Eating all the carbs
What are you looking forward to this upcoming season?
Getting to race
Describe your favorite training ride (preferably a la SNL’s skit "The Californians”)
Start from 629 University Drive, Lompoc, CA 93436. Get two flats as you ride over the train tracks. Right on East Ocean Avenue and right on the 1. Then an eventual left and a few other turns that take you through Solvang, then Los Olivos, and then up the joy that is Mt. Fig. Descend and make a loop to finish back at 629 University Drive.
