The final stage of the Amgen Tour of California was a great success. With crowds in excess of 25k, phenomenal support coming from the tour's sponsors. Escondido laid witness to a truly world class event. Levi Leipheimer and Team Astana took the overall race from what turned out to be the hardest stage of the race as far as shear elevation/miles ridden. Palomar mountain is always a challenge whether you're riding a road bike up East Grade or pedaling your way up Nate Harrison Grade on your mountain bike. You're going to feel it! We thank all of the riders in this year's tour. It's definitely North America's premiere stage race.
The Bike Bling Expo was a great success. Thanks go out to everyone that stopped by to see what been up to since we opened our doors last May. The Expo storefront had many asking if this was our new location? We're still located at our 413 West 5th Ave location. We moved everything back to the shop that same evening. A special thanks to all of our friends and family that have been there for us throughout this 10 month journey.
Thank you,
From everyone on the Bike Bling team!
