**Impromptu** D/4(5500’)/43 – Mt. Hamilton KOM and Amgen Tour Festival

  • Tue, May 12, 2015
  • 9:15 AM
  • Starbucks, 2707 McKee Rd, San Jose

We will meet at Starbucks at 2707 McKee Road in San Jose at 9:15am (wheels roll at 9:30am).

The ride starts with a short 2 mile spin over to Penetencia Creek Park where Stage 3 of the Amgen Tour of California begins.  There will be a ‘FESTIVAL’ and other starting activities.  We will ‘hang out’ from 9:45 to 10:45.  At 10:45am, the Tour Race begins (toward Livermore), we will leave the Park/Festival and start heading up Mt. Hamilton to the Lick Observatory.  We should be at Lick by 12:45pm.  We’ll head a ‘few hundred yards’ down the backside of Mt. Hamilton to find a good viewing spot for the final push for the KOM race to the top.  According to the Race Timetable, the race should arrive at the summit between 1:41pm and 2:30pm.  Once the road reopens, we’ll head back down Mt. Hamilton to our cars at Starbucks on McKee Rd.
