Wasn't there supposed to be in in LA this year?
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right. It was announced and scheduled for October 24th but was postponed until 2011.
ReplyDeleteNorthern California ignored again! Too bad Euros forget about the best part of the West Coast! Note to organizers- Elay is not the epicenter of cycling in the West- it is NorCal!
ReplyDeleteWashington DC absolutely! I commute almost every day. There are many many riders in the Capital area. Gran Fondo...Giro prologue in a couple of years and then World Championship in Richmond hopefully in 2015. Absolutely. The city has changed dramatically in the last decade.
