As promised, Here is the compiled video footage from my viewpoint at today’s stage. We were standing at the intersection of Mines Road and Del Valle Road in or just outside Livermore, CA. I did edit the video due to the time lapse between the leading group, second group, and the rest of the peloton. Luckily for us, the weather was perfect and didn’t start to rain until we got back into our car.

We hope you like the footage.

Here it is, Enjoy!

Is this Lance's Bottle?

Is this Lance's Bottle?


CommuterGear was indeed at the Tour of California today to watch Stage 4. We were set up just outside of Livermore at the intersection of Mines Road and Del Valle. It was definitely an exciting trip and we met some real nice people. It was an overcast day, but real nice weather. We arrived on scene at approximately 10:30 to scout the area before the racers rode through. It was near 1 o’clock in the afternoon when he action happened. A small group broke away from the peloton beforehand. As the peloton rolled in, Team RadioShack was in second place with Lance Armstrong as the Lead Rider. As Team RadioShack passed, one of them threw one of their bottles on the side of the road. And guess what? We got the bottle. It is about half full and contains what appears to be water. Its hard to tell if there is any additive to the water. (OK, I dipped my finger in the bottle for a taste) It tastes like water to me. Later, I will pour it in a glass to check the clarity. The water bottle is manufactured by Trek.

Later today we will post the race footage we collected.
