The Breakaway Ride gives cycling enthusiasts the opportunity to ride the actual route of the 2010 Amgen Tour of California. Three distances will be offered for each ride to accommodate various skill levels; the longest distance covers the same route that the pros will ride (an entire stage). Riders will be chip timed and supported.
Santa Rosa will be the start and finish location for the short course of approximately 22 miles and the intermediate course of approximately 50 miles. The routes will travel out of Santa Rosa, and will pick up the Amgen Tour of California route back to Santa Rosa. Both the short and intermediate distance rides will have a combination of rolling hills and at least one serious climb.
The long ride is approximately 110 miles and will start in California’s Central Valley and will head west into the mountains and valleys of Napa and Sonoma County. The ride will pass by some of the most famous and iconic wineries and appellations in the world.
