Got 12 grand to spare? Ride the Tour of California

$11,950 to be precise, for which you get to ride all 8 stages of the @AmgenTOC Tour of California just before the pros, with full support from soigneurs and mechanics, eat with the pro teams, and stay in the same hotels (not sure if that's included in the price but I guess if you have to ask, you can't afford it)

Quite an experience I'm sure - if you've got deep pockets and you're fast enough. The details say "if our team is too slow we’ll be pulled off the course" so I'd guess there's a qualification process and you'd probably have to be at least Cat1/2.

Still, something to add to the bucket list!
