The Tour of California is a Tour de France-style cycling road race that challenges the world’s top male and female professional cyclists to compete along a demanding course that traverses hundreds of miles of California’s iconic highways, byways and coastlines.
The race traverses over 575 miles through a dozen cities including South Lake Tahoe, which is one of the most scenic of places to view the peloton. (The Morro Bay in Central California is another great viewing spot.)
