All right on stage 2 the race will pass within 5 miles of my house. I
just might have to go up the hill and see the race at the top of S.
Pinehurst road.

Can anyone confirm that the San Jose road stage in the Tour of California
will go over Palomeres and Calaveras Rds, and then loop back up Sierra Rd.
before finishing in SJ? If so, that last climb up Sierra will make some
good time gaps as it is wickedly steep. It probably averages 10% for three
miles, with some parts much steeper.

This was apparently relayed to our club President from somewhere.

If this is true the climb UP Sierra Grade will kill those who aren't Euro
Pros. That could make time differences greater than allowed and disqualify a
LOT of people.

I'd go watch, but I think it would be just too depressing to see
how fast they go over some of my favorite climbs.

Especially if we see them going up Sierra in their big rings.

NO ONE is going up Sierra Grade in the big ring. Even Jobst has to shift
into the small ring.

Yeah, but Jobst's small ring is a 47...
