Paso Robles Welcomes the Amgen Tour on February 19, 2009
February 4th, 2009 Posted in Good Times & Events, Local Businesses, Local News, Real Estate, RestaurantsOn February 19th, Stage 5 of the Amgen Tour featuring seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong and two-time defending champion Levi Leipheimer will begin in Visalia at 10:00 am and will end with a sprint down Spring Street in Paso Robles with the finish line being at the City Park (11th & Spring) near the Paso Robles Inn between 3:00 & 4:20 pm.
The route is roughly as follows: The race starts in Visalia and heads west on Highway 46 east before merging
onto Highway 41 west and traveling through Shandon and Creston. Riders will then turn right onto Creston Road, left on Charolais Road, right on South River Road, left on Niblick crossing the bridge and then right onto Spring Street for a downhill fast and exciting finish.
There will be ample room for up-close viewing practically anywhere along the route, but there will also be events at other locations such as Still Waters Vineyard & Winery on Creston Road, Kennedy Adventure Club (members & guests only) on Niblick, Keller Williams Realty North County on Spring, and A Lifestyle Festival will be set up downtown.
While you are in Paso enjoying the race and festivities, be sure to visit Keller Williams Realty North County as we will have vendors in our parking lot, possibly wine tasting, water, and we will be barbecuing Santa Maria Style Tri-Tip Sandwiches that will be offered for sale as a fundraiser for KW Cares and other charities. We are located just one block north of the City Park on the corner of Spring & 13th Street.
There are also many merchants, wine tasting rooms and restaurants located around the City Park should you wish to enjoy some shopping or a sit-down lunch or dinner indoors.
