Here’s your chance to race in the Amgen Tour of California, sort of.

Twenty-five amateurs will be allowed to ride the 2.1-mile (3.4-km) prologue time trial on Feb. 17 before 130 pros take the course, then see how they stack up against the cashmen.

This is a charity event for the Palo Alto Recreation Foundation with 25 TT spots being auctioned. Winning bidders will receive the full pro treatment, including official UCI timing, a closed course, race announcers, photographers and awards for the fastest man, fastest woman and largest donor. The minimum bid is $500, and you can place yours by calling 800-341-0310 until Feb. 10 at 5 p.m. (PST).
