Here is what California Governor Schwarzenegger said it would do for California:
This race not only brings world-class cycling competition to our great state, but it showcases some of the most beautiful places to visit in California, from the pristine coast to modern, urban landscapes.Hey, Missouri is a beautiful place, too!
In addition to displaying the diversity of California’s landscape, this event benefits two incredible organizations. Best Buddies and The Wellness Community work daily to better the lives of others and are an example to us all of what it truly means to give back to our communities.
