These last few days you have probably come across the Rapha team tackling 4 stages of the famous 2011 Amgen Tour of California (runs May 15-22) . The videos are amazing and no doubt California is the state to ride, with such a diversity of lanscapes and mind-blowing vistas, it has it all (even the good wine)! I went on the famous coastal road US-1 two months ago and I couldn’t agree more with rider Slate Olson, no need to go to Italy to have amazing roads.
