Request For Information

One of my Facebook friends from Colorado has a question that maybe you can help me with.

I am currently working on a couple projects to get the locals business on board with promoting cycling. Of course, it comes down to their bottom line, and what’s in it for them. Do you have any links or information you can share on bicycle commuters effect on local business, and or cause and affect of shopping local?

Any ideas? Thanks!

Tour of California Route Change

Highway 1 landslide forces route change for Stage 5, which begins in Seaside, passes through Fort Ord and Laguna Seca to Carmel Valley, Greenfield, King City, past Lake Nacimiento to Paso Robles.

Due to closure of segments of California Highway 1, the route for May 19th’s Stage 5 of the 2011 Amgen Tour of California will be modified. Four recent rock and mudslides along Highway 1 have closed the coastal road, necessitating an inland route between Seaside and Paso Robles. The sixth-annual Amgen Tour of California, which will feature a world-class field of competitors, will take place from May 15 – 22.
