This will be a bullet-blog as its 5 days to the Overall Start of the Amgen Tour of California. From my seat, here’s what I think are the important things to keep in mind this week:
Tell your work team members and your friends to plan ahead and expect delays on Sunday. Go to ltva.org for our reader’s digest version of the delays.
Download South Shore’s very own free iphone app (Tahoe South) and tell your visitors to do the same for real time information on all that South Shore has to offer, including all of the events leading up to Sunday.
Events leading up to Sunday: Gala and Team Presentation on Friday, May 13 at MontBleu Resort Casino and Spa. Tickets are going once, twice and gone as of tomorrow, Wednesday, May 11. Curtis Fong and Bike the West are our good partners on the Legends Participation Ride this Saturday, May 14. Online registration is available through Wednesday, May 11th. Pre-Registered Participant Check-In and Late / Same Day scheduled for Friday, May 13, from 10am – 8pm, in the Horizon Casino Resort Convention Center. Event Check-In and Same Day registration will re-open Saturday, May 14, from 6:00am to 7:30am, in the Horizon back Parking Lot C. While you’re checking out the bike mechanics’ area behind Harveys, come by the Expo and say hello to your local business friends and sponsors on Saturday, 10am – 4pm and Sunday, 8am – 2pm.
You can’t get better than Rick Gunn, presenting his Around the World Adventure at MontBleu on Saturday, May 14 3pm. And then it gets better, because it’s free! Join us to get in the mood for Sunday when 18 internationally acclaimed cycling teams take the road!
As for roads and closures, the Highway 50 road closure information is on our app that you just downloaded and it’s at www.way2Tahoe.com. Take a deep breath and it’ll be over before you know it.
I just know we’ll see the sun soon. If you have any pull with the weather, please order it for Sunday!

Executive Director

We’ve been watching these guys on TV and in Sacramento in past tours. So exciting to have them racing right here in Tahoe!
