Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race – Stage 1 Lake Tahoe May 2015

Today I was lucky enough to watch the first Stage of the Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. I was just down the road from the 50km mark in the Tahoe Park neighborhood which is known for having the Sunnyside Resort, FireSign Café and the new West Shore Market.

It was really impressive to watch these world-class athletes ride by. I can see why the crowds turn out for the Tour de France event each year and line the streets for just a peek at the cyclists as they zoom past you. You just can’t imagine just how fast these women were moving today until you are standing there and watch them.

Here’s a video of Stage I of the Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe just about 2.5 mile south of Downtown Tahoe City, which is just about the half-way mark of this first leg in their four stage race.

Check it out!

If you weren’t able to be here in Lake Tahoe today for the first stage of the Amgen Women’s Race, you still have time to be here for Stage 2, which will take place in South Lake Tahoe at the Heavenly Base Resort tomorrow, Saturday, May 9, 2015 starting at 10:30 a.m. I’d get there early so you can grab a good spot to watch these women ride by!

Lake Tahoe is known for its amazing winter sports and our Olympic athletes, but we are also known for our beautiful Lake Tahoe, and our great boating and lake activities. Hopefully the Amgen race will remind everyone what a great place Lake Tahoe is to ride your bike, whether you are a professional like these Amgen women racers, or an amateur like myself who just enjoys being out on our local paved bike paths!

Don’t forget to check out Stage 2 of the Amgen Tour of California Women’s Race in South Lake Tahoe tomorrow, Saturday, May 9, 2015!

If you’ll be in the greater Sacramento, CA area on Sunday, May 10, 2015 you’ll get another chance to see both the Men and Women race by. Be sure to check out the Amgen website for more detailed information! It’s a wonderful opportunity to see these athletes in action!
