Three world-class cyclists, Amgen Tour of California participants and likely U.S. Olympic team members, along with avid race supporter and actor Patrick Dempsey, were led up Rodeo Drive on their bikes Wednesday by BH police motor officers to a press conference announcing the upcoming 2012 Amgen Tour of California road race. The largest cycling event in America, the race is a Tour de France-style cycling road race, presented by AEG, nearly 750 miles through the state, ending in Los Angeles on May 20. Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive will play a key role on the final day. Pictured from left are: Chris Horner, David Zabriski and Dempsey. Not pictured is Tom Danielson.
