I'm pretty sure that you can get Gerolsteiner at whole foods, nestled in there between the San Peligrino and the Evian, but I might have it confused since I've been living in europe for the last 7 months. I recently read that the Whole foods 365 brand water is bottled in Roseville, CA (just east of Sacramento, kinda at the base of the Sierra Nevadas). Anyways, I grew up there, so its kinda funy to think of my water being sold all over the country.

Back on topic (kind of) I've always thouhgt it was usper funny that USPS sponsered a team. There is no way in europeans would ever need to us the us postal service.

Is Amgen or CSC really benefit much from their sponsership? If I need cancer drugs, I don't shop based on brand name.Frankly I don't care too much who sponsers it, just as long as the race keeps happening. One excpetion: Sierra Nevada. I Heard they were giving away free beer in the VIP tent, and I was raised on SNPA. SN's sponspership of cycling, along with my nor-cal pride, always encourages me to keep my fridge stocked with their wonderful beer.
