"Follow the Tour" Vacation
EXPERIENCE THE EXCITEMENT...
of California's Premier Cycling Race!
You're invited to join us as we follow the world's top professional cycling teams as they race the 8-day, 700-mile 2008 Amgen Tour of California.
Our comprehensive "Follow the Tour" vacation packages include your accommodations, meals, van shuttle to prime spectating locations along the course and daily guided and SAG-supported bike tours highlighting the regions along the race route.
Best of all, as a bike tour and vacation company with an affinity for great food and wine, you can bet that every evening will hold ample reward for your time spent in the saddle.
FROM SIDELINE TO SADDLE-TIME
this is the Ultimate Fan Experience!
Each morning after breakfast, we'll pile into our vans and head out on along the race course to catch the riders in action. We'll choose spectating locations along the route that are a natural set-up for drama and excitement, whether it's along the big climb of the day or near the finish line, you'll get to see the riders up close and at their best.
We'll switch gears in the afternoon with a group ride, where we'll have ample opportunity to apply the inspiration that naturally comes from watching the pros up close. But instead of always following the race course (which in some areas can be less-than-fun after the roads reopen to traffic), we've designed routes that highlight the best riding found in the regions along the 2008 Amgen Tour of California.
We invite you to read through our Sample Itinerary (below) for a taste of what's in store on this vacation...
...AND A SOUND NIGHT'S REST
On many cycling vacations, the accommodations almost seem like an afterthought. We set a higher standard, realizing that our guests appreciate having their own sanctuary to retire to after a long day of riding. We invite you to check out the hotel links provided in the sample intinerary below.

2008 "FOLLOW THE TOUR" VACATION PRICING
Our vacation pricing depends entirely on your length of stay.
Prices listed below are per person and based on double occupancy. A 6-5 Vacation stands for a package that includes six days of activities (spectating, lunch and riding) and five nights’ hotel accommodations and dinners.
Solo travelers should add the "single occupancy add-on" to determine their total vacation cost. Unfortunately, we do not book enough single travelers to offer a roommate matching service.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
Our vacation package pricing includes:
- Your hotel accommodations
- Daily van rides to prime race spectating locations
- Daily guided bike tour with van support
- Transport for you and your luggage along the point-to-point route
- Water & a Clif Bar for each day of bike touring
- Picnic-style lunch (served on tour)
- Dinners (excluding beverages)
- Bike rental & roadside assistance
*Wine tasting fees are not included. Tasting is optional at the wineries we visit. It is also perfectly appropriate to share a tasting. Tasting fees typically range between $5-15 and are sometimes waived when wine is purchased.
