For the second year in a row Levi Leipheimer rode ( and won) the
Copperopolis Road Race in Nor Cal. The Pacific State Bank/Anderson
Homes Cycling team has put up another one of their videos covering Nor
Cal racing this time featuring Levi on the last lap going up the major
climb at Copperopolis. The Video is at
http://www.deltavelo.com/race_coverage/2007_road/copperopolis_rr/copper_
video_a.html
Copperopolis is a 21 mile loop which the 1/2/pros do 5 times. The main
climb is famous ( at least locally) for bad pavement thus earning the
name of Paris Roubaix of Nor Cal. After the major climb there is a long
flat section across the top of the course which is normally pretty
windy. There is a second smaller climb and then the long down hill with
more bad pavement and then a short 300 meter climb to the finish.
for some additional Info about how Pro/1/2, women Pro/1/2 and the 35+
1/2/3 races played out see a race report from the 35+ 1/2/3 winner at

That film was sort of disappointing. I wish they could have gotten that
MOTHER of a climb where you come around the bend and can see the road going
up the face of that cliff. And it would have been nice to have Mr. Toad's
Wild Ride down past the dump. And it would have been cool to have them get
off and get a good closeup of the road surface of the descent.
But still I can see that a lot more trees have grown in since I raced there.

Tom, I did not realize that they had tricycle races there.
Levi looked so composed as compared to the others. He was clearly focused
and on-pace. Good video. Is it on youtube.com ?
