Today, February 18, 2009, I am proud to announce that the Tour of California riders rode into the streets of old town Clovis. What a sight to see! It was so exciting to be there and see the racers zoom by. Being there was worthwhile knowing that we were part of a history making event.....This was the first time the Tour came to Clovis. I hope they liked the course enough to come back again. Plus, it was the first day of no rain and the weather was absolutely beautiful.
And interesting fact...Three of the top five riders were once on a racing team here in Fresno. Levi Leipheimer, Dave Zabriskie, and Chris Horner were members of the Nutra-Fig Team....way back when they were youngsters. Teri Farnesi's Mom took care of them and cooked their meals. For those of you who do not know Teri...she is one great bicycling coach for Parker's Team!
