CLIFcast 06 - Stage 2 17:19 Today's hilly 95-mile stage from Martinez to San Jose was a treat for all of us at Clif Bar & Co. Instead of working this morning, we loaded into busses at 9:00am and rode out to Martinez for breakfast (mimosas and bloody Mary's included), a little stunt mountain bike riding and a whole lot of cowbell ringing as the peleton rode through town off to start their day. Unfortunately, we had to return to the office around 1:00pm, but Dylan was out on the course all day. While we ate and hung out before…
