Some of the great advantages of living in sunny Kern County is the great cycling weather and the abundance of cyclist that love the sport cycling. Each year one of the top races comes to California. The Tour of California (officially sponsored as the Amgen Tour of California) is a professional cycling stage race on the UCI World Tour and USA Cycling Professional Tour. It is the only event on the top-level World Tour in the United States. It was first held in 2006 (Landis Won) . The eight-day race covers 650–800 miles through the State of California.
Some other sponsors like Michelob Ultra that has been a minor sponsor for some 10 years usually sets up VIP tents at the finishing city. In this VIP area usually shared by other sponsors allows you great watching prospective near the finish line, food and of course Ice-cold Ultras to enjoy the event.
This year, I had a chance to take a friend (EP) to watch the great race. 👌
