Yesterday the Tour of California Amgen Bicycle Race came through Paso and it was an awesome sight to see and we were so happy to have gotten to be a part of it! The kids were home with a babysitter and we had a two hour break! (They would have gotten bored with waiting for the bikers to come - and I've since shown them these pictures and they call it a parade.) 
The whole Spring Street (our main street) was lined and packed down at the finish line. It was amazing to see these guys coming. They had ridden 120 miles and passed us in their last sprint at 42 miles an hour! They were here and gone so fast you could feel the whhooosssshhhhh as they went by! Exhilerating!
Like I said, they went by so fast!!! And they were so close you could almost reach out and touch them!
We didn't get to see Lance Armstrong (well, technically I did - I just don't know which rider he was!) but we know he was there!
