Description of this Bike Ride

After spending a devilish day in the mountains, the riders might welcome the thought of long flat roads in Stage 5, sponsored by Rabobank, but by no means will it be easy. In fact, at more than 130 miles, this new course is the longest of the race and includes two sprints along the way. Starting with parade laps through downtown Visalia, the peloton will then pedal across the San Joaquin Valley floor. The riders will be without shelter from the wind, which bodes to make the first 100 miles difficult. After passing expansive cattle ranches, horse farms and vineyards, the final 30 miles of the route winds back to the coast over rolling hills that lead to a dandy dash for the cash in Paso Robles.
