Imagine living in San Luis Obispo, California, and having Team Columbia based in your hometown.
Although cyclists George Hincapie, left, Mark Cavendish, Kim Kirchen, Michael Rogers and others race and train around the world, there must be times when they ride on the local roads around San Luis Obispo.
One of those occasions will occur on a Saturday the week before the Tour of California, when team owner Highroad Sports sponsors Pedal to Pier, beginning at 8 a.m. Feb. 7, at Avila Beach.
Mere mortals (recreational cyclists) can join members of Team Columbia on either a half century to San Luis Obispo or a metric century to Cayucos to raise money for the non-profit San Luis Obispo ALPHA.
Registration is $100. It opened Nov. 8 and runs until Feb. 4. If available, late registration will include a $10 fee.
More information about the routes and lodging are available online at the Highroad Sports website. Registration is available online at active.com.
San Luis Obispo ALPHA is a nonprofit organization that provides nonjudgmental support for those facing pregnancy, assistance in the first year of life, and education based on a respect for life. More informationa at Guidestar.
