It was pretty awesome...those guys blast by quick. It was good that they came around for another 3 laps.
My friends and I didn't really know what was going on while we waited alongside the route and I almost had a heart attack when all the racers came in the other street. We thought we had missed the whole thing!
Loved the whole event. Wish I had got to a better spot to watch the awards, but I really didn't have a clue what was going on. Had to watch from the side. George Hincapie brushed past me trying to escape from the crowds.
My only suggestion would be to advertise the event more. Outside of Bikeforums and Simi Star covering it the day before the event, I didn't notice anything that indicated there was a race coming up. None of my cycling buddies at school knew about it either.
