The Amgen Tour of California road race will wind its way around Beale Air Force Base and Wheatland on May 16 during the 2011 route's second stage, a 133.2-mile stretch from Squaw Valley to Sacramento. Billed as the "largest cycling event in America," the 2011 Amgen Tour of California is a Tour de France-style cycling road race that will challenge some of the world's top professional cyclists from May 15-22.
On the second stage, racers will travel along Highway 89 to Truckee, power their way up Donner Summit, head to Nevada City and Grass Valley and descend back into the valley for a trek around Beale and then push on through Sutter County on Pleasant Grove Road to Sacramento, ending at the state Capitol.
The first stage runs between South Lake Tahoe and North Lake Tahoe on May 15.
The third stage runs from Auburn to Modesto on May 17 before racers traverse roads from Livermore to San Jose on the fourth leg. The final legs are Seaside to Paso Robles, Solvang time trials for Stage 6, Claremont to Mt. Baldy for Stage 7, and wrapping up with a stretch from Santa Clarita to Thousand Oaks.
