Sunny…For Now. Amgen Riders Better Bring Their Booties

South Lake Tahoe, CA/NV….Temps will still reach near 70 tomorrow and then take a sharp turn downward according to the National Weather Service in Reno. Saturday Snow is in the forecast and an extra layer or two might be in order for the Amgen Tour of California riders on Sunday Morning. Can’t imagine it will be sticking to the roadways much but it will no doubt require an extra bit of concentration.
