Amgen tour cancelled at Lake Tahoe Truckee I have been so excited waiting for Stage 1 & Stage 2 of Amgen Tour to go through Lake Tahoe Truckee. This is one of the largest bike race in America and Tahoe Truckee had planned all kinds of events to welcome the racers such as “King of the Mousehole” sponsored by Truckee Donner Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Town of Truckee.
Our Truckee Outrigger Canoe club also arranged to paddle along the shore on the morning of Monday May 16, next to the world best riders.
However nature did not want to cooperate and winter storms arrive on Sunday May 15 with a vengeance. Between the snow and wind, race officials decided that conditions were just too dangerous and cancelled both Stage 1 & 2 in Tahoe Truckee. Monday Stage 2 of Amgen Tour was moved to Nevada City at 12:30 pm.
I guess Truckee will remain our best kept secret until the next big event. Let hope Spring will arrive soon since there are a lot of fun summer outdoor activities in Lake Tahoe Truckee: scenic trails for hiking, biking…not to mention the beautiful lakes for fishing, boating, etc…. Come on Spring…we are ready!!!
