Hwy 49er



Here is a nice little promo video of Stage Four of the 2012 ToC. We will be starting in Sonora, two hours ahead of the 10:35 race start and shooting the course until the first major climb on Hwy 49 near Mocassin. We'll ride that juicy ten miles and then set sail for Bootjack where we will again saddle up and summit. This time we'll wait for the peloton to catch us (doesn't THAT sound nice!) film them passing and then short-cut, side-route to Crane Valley Rd where we'll pick them up again for some filming, then skedaddle to Clovis for the finish. Once that chore is complete we'll back-track and finish the day with another ride of the course in reverse. We'll head back to the expo festival, get media work done and then high-tail it South to Bakersfield for Thursday's Individual Time Trial.

Looks like you'll want a substitute for four sessions.
