AMGEN Tour of California 2009, Merced

Amgen Tour of California Brings Live Race Action to Fans Around the World.
This year my county has been added to the 4th stage. Merced County will be part of this history making race, with Lance Armstrong coming out of retirement. The stage starts in downtown Merced and continues onto Clovis.
This brand new stage welcomes Merced and Clovis as Amgen Tour of California host cities and introduces the peloton to the grandiose Sierra Mountains. Although Stage 4 has a few sprints to contest, the climbers will assume the starring role while battling over four KOMs (King of the Mountains points competition) on the consistently hilly and technical terrain in breathtaking mountain scenery. Spectators can enjoy watching the gladiators joust on Highway 140, twice on Highway 49 and on Crane Valley Road. The finish is in Old Town Clovis, which showcases the beauty of Central California.
This footage was taken at the corner of Cunningham Road(named after a pioneer family of the community of Le Grand) and Highway 140..leading into Cathey's Valley, Mariposa, Oakhurst and foothills and finally ending in Clovis California.
P.S...oops small tipo at the end...meant to type AMGEN and not AMEGEN..oopsie..
