Remember last week, when I thought a certain portion of the finishing circuit around the Rose Bowl for the Amgen Tour of California would be complete by race day? Well, I guess the rain this week made it difficult to close up the 50 foot open trench on the side of the incline. So, Pasadena decided to put barriers around it instead.
They started putting up those barriers today, and they should encompass the entire trench. What's bad, is that this trench is almost at the top of the little climb, so it's just one more thing for the riders to worry about. It's also supposed to rain on Sunday, but I don't know if they'll have the 40 mile an hour headwinds that they had yesterday, which caused some of the riders to abandon due to hypothermia. They averaged only 18 miles an hour over 135 miles. Usually it's about 27 or 28. Brrr!
