Description

From San Jose, I rode my bike towards the base of Sierra Road to watch stage 3 from the 2007 Tour of California – after the riders had passed by on Sierra Road, I raced back to downtown San Jose on my bike in order to see the finish, which surprisingly worked out quite well – I was able to take a bunch of photos.

Overall rating of the trip ‘great’ because of the warm and fuzzy feeling you get when riding along streets lined with cheering spectators ;). But I’d recommend climbing Sierra all the way if you want to get a real ride in any other day.
