Tour of California-Day 5, to Clovis

Here we are at 10 am on the top of the hill at the first King of the Hill. This is where the riders get extra points for crossing the summit first.

Today the skies are clear and the Sierra Nevada mountain’s looks especially beautiful this morning. This stage has the riders going up over 4 mountain passes and they will be put to the test. The climbs aren’t that long, but one tops out at over 3,000 ft elevation.

Some of my favorite pics from this spot-

For now, we have the truck parked, the banners up and the snacks handy. I’ll be promoting http://www.bicycletour.com/ from up here on top the summit…just 2 ½ hours till the riders get here!!!

We will be moving on next to the finish in Clovis and hopefully a spot right on the finish line…..
