Tour of CA 2009 – Santa Cruz Boardwalk finish!

The route will run from Sausalito to Santa Cruz along Skyline of South San Francisco. If you’ve done the ALC, this is similar to the route from Day 1. They would pass right by Alice’s Restaurant, which has the best bottomless cup of joe in Northern California (IMHO). The Tour is a good excuse to sit on their porch for a couple hours.

“Twisselman said the local organizing committee — which is responsible for the tour route only after it enters the city limits — has been dedicating most of its time to shoring up the plans for the downtown finish of the pro men’s race, a pro women’s criterium and a “lifestyle festival” that follows the tour. Final details of the stage route are still being ironed out and are pending approval from AEG. He said he expects the official route to be released in late November. “

“The Big Cheese himself, Maurice Tierney, explains: “Bicycle Times is a natural progression of publishing Dirt Rag Magazine for 20 years. Our devotion to the rotating mass of the bicycle wheel extends from the dirt to the pavement.””
