As I do every year when the race returns to California, I have just created a Flickr group for the 2010 Amgen Tour of California professional bicycle race. The event starts in about a week in Northern California and travels around the state before ending a week later in Southern California. International pro bicycle racing teams compete, and a lot of big names in pro cycling take part including Lance Armstrong.

So, whether you want to see up to the minute photos from the stages of the race or post your own photographs, consider joining the group.
