Amgen Bike
Tour of California goes thru Milpitas Tuesday, February 21, 2006. Stage 2 (First of loop)
View of the race as they came south on Piedmont Road near Seacliff
about 2:30 PM. I don't know how to compress this without buying
expensive software, so be patient. I have tested it and the movie
will eventually play. (Noise at the end was a helicopter.)
Stage 3 - San Jose to Livermore, May 15, 2012
While the riders wonÕt be expected to tackle a Category 1 climb just two miles from the start as they have been in the past, the route into Livermore is one that the race has taken before: Calaveras Road and Highway 84.
Map of Stage 3 shows start time at about Sierra and Piedmont Road at 11:15 AM, Tuesday, May 15, 2012. Traffic will be blocked along Piedmont, so plan ahead if you want to watch or need to get through that area.

The picture was taken Friday, Feb. 13. Armstrong is competing in the Amgen Tour of California. Amgen's Breakaway from Cancer nonprofit partners are also going to each city on the tour to raise awareness of important resources available to cancer patients. After the picture was taken, Armstrong went on Twitter and wrote "Managed to make it by the Capitol. Assembly Majority Leader Torrico presented us with a cool resolution. He's been very helpful in the cancer fight."
