The Amgen bike race visited the San Mateo County coast on Monday as they zipped down Highway 1 from San Francisco on their way to a finish in Aptos.

These pictures were taken at the Sprint Line at Coronado St. in El Granada just north of Half Moon Bay, where a few dozen spectators lined the course.
