See Spot Ride

It's Friday and we couldn't resist posting this video of a bike riding Dalmatian.

The Dalmatian walks up to a bike, gets on and pedals down the street.

Now if they could teach him to go to the corner store for a 6-pack they'd really be onto something.

Photo Album: Amgen Tour of California Stage 6 - Solvang Time Trials

The important 15-mile individual time trial at the 2009 Amgen Tour of California took place in Solvang under sunshine and spring-like temperatures in front of a massive crowd.

Stage 6 traversed a challenging course that tested the riders' limits.

Race leader Levi Leipheimer took a big step closer to his 3x Amgen Tour of California title by acing the stage with a winning time of 30:40, eight seconds faster than U.S. National Time Trial champion David Zabriskie. Gustav Larsson, who won silver at the Beijing Olympic Games in the time trial, had the third fastest time, 16 seconds slower than Leipheimer, who padded his advantage in the GC over Zabriskie.
