Bikestock

One of the coolest places to see the Tour of California was at Dave Biber's Valley Center farm.

He had a great setup for fans to see both live action on the last major climb of the race and live television coverage on a huge TV. Biber says he spent weeks clearing trees and preparing his land for fans. He provided parking, tents, trash, portable toilets and a truck-sized TV.

Biber didn't charge a dime and refused donations. He said he did it all to sell race organizers on coming back.
