Coming out of the loop and heading back towards the Staple Center




















Amgen Tour of California in Downtown LA - May 17, 2015 (Sunday) -- Part 3

After they make the first turn into the loop, they go downhill on 1st street heading east.  They really pick-up speed here (possibly hitting 40 to 45 MPH at the bottom before the left hand 90 turn...)

Metro Rail (Light Rail) Ride from Culver City Station to Downtown LA (near City Hall: Civic Center Station) - May 17, 2015 (Sunday)

My company Car on the Left...

Nice Station at Civic Center







Closed Streets for the Race.  Nearly no one around...  Kinda eerie...



The race starts a couple of miles away at the Staples Center.  This is the spot where the race enters and leaves the circular route around the City Hall area... (get to see them coming and going)  They did 5 laps so get to see them 9 times (the 5th time, they came into the loop & kept on going to Pasadena.
