Have you ever heard of the Amgen Bike Tour? Neither had we, but apparently it’s the largest cycling race in the U.S., running over 800 miles on various courses from Sacramento to San Diego. Bike world superstar Lance Armstrong himself will also be racing in it this year.

Yet even superstar cyclists need a place to lay their weary...er,quads at the end of the race, so the Pala Mesa Resort in Fallbrook just north of San Diego is offering cyclists and cycling enthusiasts (we know you love it!) special packages between February 15-22.
