I enjoyed this year's Tour of California. I watched most of the stages live on Versus. Next year, the organizers need at least one mountaintop finish. When the mountains come in the middle of a stage, it allows the dropped riders (many of them, anyway) to get back on the peloton before the finish. Here is a final scene from this year's race, which began in rain and ended in sunshine.
