You're invited to join us as we follow the world's top professional cycling teams as they race the Northern California stages of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California.
Our "Follow the Tour" vacation package includes your accommodations, meals, van shuttle to prime spectating locations along the course and daily guided and SAG-supported bike tours highlighting the regions along the race route.
Best of all, as a bike tour and vacation company with an affinity for great food and wine, you can bet that every evening will hold ample reward for your time spent in the saddle.
Each morning after breakfast, several group ride options will be offered catered to various abilities and interests. Leisurely riders can join a casual tour with an emphasis on enjoying the scenery and stopping at boutique wineries along the way. Avid cyclists will have the chance to get a great workout along some of the most picturesque cycling routes in Northern California.
We'll switch gears in the afternoon as we head out along the race course to catch the peloton in action. We'll choose spectating locations along the route that are a natural set-up for drama and excitement, whether it's along the big climb of the day or near the finish line, you'll get to see the riders up close and at their best.
We invite you to read through our Sample Itinerary for a taste of what's in store on this vacation.
This year, we've thrown out the "pack-and-go" vacation model that has become a routine part of most cycling vacations. On our "Follow the Tour" Vacation, you'll stay and luxuriate at one hotel in the Napa Valley, centrally located to all of the Northern California race stages. You'll be able to unpack, settle in and have a familiar retreat to come back to after each day of cycling and spectating. Not to mention, you'll also enjoy Napa's world class dining each night!
