If you are traveling in or around San Francisco today, take note. Traffic may come to a complete stop due to Amgen bike race.
Day 1 of an 8 day bicycle event across California from north to south began on Mother’s Day and when the first leg of the race finished, Peter Sagan (SVK) had overcome a flat tire 3.1 miles from the finish, zooming over the line at around 40 miles per hour to be the first day winner. He passed challengers to win Stage 1 of the 2012 Amgen Tour of California before tens of thousands of screaming fans in Santa Rosa.
Stage 2 Monday, May 14: San Francisco to Santa Cruz 117.1 miles
