It's official Tour of California to make stop in Bakersfield

Didn't need a 10 a.m. press conference to announce the cities and dates for the 2010 Amgen Tour of California. Just had to open my e-mail this morning. Here's a few excerpts from the press release sent over by Nicole Okoneski with Golin Harris, one of the marketing firms with the Tour.

Beginning with a road stage, a first for the race, the 2010 Amgen Tour of California will visit 16 host cities for official stage starts and finishes, while other cities along the route also will have the opportunity to witness the excitement of elite professional cycling.  Stages for the 2010 Amgen Tour of California include:

  • Stage 1: Sunday, May 16 – Nevada City to Sacramento
  • Stage 2: Monday, May 17 – Davis to Santa Rosa
  • Stage 3: Tuesday, May 18 – San Francisco to Santa Cruz
  • Stage 4: Wednesday, May 19 – San Jose to Modesto
  • Stage 5: Thursday, May 20 – Visalia to Bakersfield
  • Stage 6: Friday, May 21 – Pasadena to Big Bear Lake
  • Stage 7: Saturday, May 22 – Los Angeles (individual time trial)
  • Stage 8: Sunday, May 23 – Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village/Agoura Hills

For further information on the 2010 Amgen Tour of California, visit amgentourofcalifornia.com.

I'm still going to the press conference. Will know more in a few minutes.

Question is how long will they stay in Bakersfield if the next leg of the tour starts in Pasenda then next day.

Shwaine. Overnight. Part of contract requests a certain number (rather large number) of rooms be available for riders, team members and anyone else affiliated with Tour. Good thing the Padre will be open be then.

You mean' "if it opens by then" . You obviously don't know the history of the Padre!

This is a big deal. congrats to those who made the proposal.

posted by LastRites on Oct 22, 2009 at 03:30 PM

True. Very true. They expect to open in mid December, so I guesstimated it would be mid-March before it gets going.
