Today the course for Stage 4 was announced with much enthusiasm! How exciting to know that the pro's are coming to ride on some of my favorite roads in the back country of Sonora, Jamestown, and Coulterville! So, here's part of the course...
The fourth leg will begin at Courthouse Park in downtown Sonora. Bicyclists will pedal down Washington Street, over Highway 108, to Lime Kiln Road before turning right onto Campo Seco.
South of Jamestown, the riders will travel down Jacksonville Road, over Don Pedro Reservoir and then turn left onto Highway 120 towards Moccasin Fish Hatchery.
Although the residents of Big Oak Flat and Groveland were hoping that the tour would travel up either Old Priest Grade or New Priest Grade, the route will go up neither.
Bummer! That would have been nice!
At the southern junction of highway 49 and 120, the pros will turn right and make their way up Highway 49 to Coulterville and then follow the highway as it winds through the towns of Mariposa and eventually Oakhurst.
On Highway 41, riders will travel out of the the Sierra foothills before ending this leg of the race in the Fresno suburb of Clovis.
I hope you all can come out to Sonora and the local country side to cheer the cyclists on!
Carpe Diem!
Coach Shelley
