Around Lake Tahoe
Sunday, May 15, 2011
LAKE TAHOE
MAY 15, 2011 - MAY 16, 2011
It's the biggest sporting event to hit the area since the 1960 Olympics!
Lake Tahoe's first-ever involvement in the race will feature more than a lap and a half around the one of America's most scenic lakes. Stage 1 begins at South Lake Tahoe and finishes at Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort, located on the north end of the lake. Stage 2 starts at Palisades Tahoe USA (north Lake Tahoe), which was the home of the 1960 Winter Olympics.
The Amgen Tour of California covers more than 800 miles, traveling between 15 host cities over the course of eight days from May 15-22, 2011. Last year's date change from February to May allowed the Tour de France-style road race to visit locations that would not have been possible previously. Due to the incredible success, the race will remain in May to provide fans with the most action-packed race possible.
The race will wind through miles of beautiful California terrain, beginning with the first-ever visit to Lake Tahoe, a well known cycling destination and home of "America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride." The race will travel through some of the state's most scenic landmarks, with the overall finish in Thousand Oaks, the hometown of the title-sponsor Amgen.
