Tour de Palm Springs
Yesterday was the annual Tour de Palm Springs.
There are over 10,000 riders raising about $200,000.00 dollars for local Palm Spring charitable organizations. There are 5 routes: 100, 55, 25, 10 and 5 miles.
Dave, Mike, John and I joined a few thousands fellow riders for the 55 mile option.
Brittany opted for the 10 mile version.
Erica and Betty provided pool side support.
As the race got started it was a little breezy as we headed out of downtown toward Interstate 10. It wasn't all bad though since it turned into a great tailwind down Dillon road.
Riding through the Coachella Valley with Mt. San Jacinto to the south
and San Gorgonio Mountains to the north.
It doesn't get any better.
The day ended with a nice dinner downtown, then a little bubbly in Dave & Erica's room.
