Since we got engaged half way up Highway 84 during the Tour of California five years ago, we have been back to watch most years.

This year, the closest stage to our house started in San Jose, rode up through Livermore, down the back of the Diablo Range, over Mt. Hamilton and Quimby Rd. to finish on Metcalfe Road near Morgan Hill. Our plan A was to watch the cyclists go past at the top of Mt. Hamilton, the highest point of the route.

I dropped the girls and the dog at the top of the mountain, near the observatory and rode the big climb to get a feel for what the pros have to do. I was able to get back to the top in time to eat French food, drink red wine, and watch all the riders with Sienna on my shoulders, and with Page wearing her helmet and ringing the cowbell.
