2010 Amgen Tour of California - Nevada City Starting City!

The 2010 Amgen Tour of California started right outside our front door in downtown Nevada City!  The Amgen Tour of California is America's premier bicycling event.  The 2010 Amgen Tour chose our own historic Nevada City as the starting point of the race for Sunday May 16, 2010.  As with the Nevada City Classic is any indication, the race literally began on the doorstep of our Nevada County Properties' office in Nevada City.   

Nevada City and the entire region is still a buzz with excitement!  The Amgen Tour of California attracts the world's top cyclists.  Lance Armstrong, seven-time Tour de France Champion and defending Tour of California champion Levi Leipheimer competed against a host of top American and international cyclists for the Tour of California crown. 

Lance Armstrong fed the frenzie of expectation when he won the 2009 Nevada City Classic on Father's Day this past summer and Levi declared “What we did today is show that Nevada City deserves to be on the route of the Tour of California.” And so it is!
