The kickoff news conference for the Amgen Tour of California is occurring right now (Thursday, 4:30 PM Pacific) in Sacramento, California. Watch my liveblogging on Twitter/Cyclelicious. You don’t need a mobile device or Twitter account to view those Tweets. If you have a Twitter, I’ll look for suggested questions to ask if I get the opportunity. It’s very crowded.

In other news, up to a foot of snow is expected over the weekend in Bay Area mountains this weekend.
