Claremont/Tour of California update...

According to city news sources a preliminary route through the city of Claremont for the ATOC 2011 has been proposed and is as follows: Starting from the Village, the route heads north on College Avenue to Foothill, east along Foothill to Mills, north on Mills to Mt. Baldy Road, which the race will follow to the city limits. These roads will of course be closed to traffic for as much as a couple hours, while other streets in the Village area may be closed for as much as 24 hours. There is scheduled to be a meeting of the Claremont Traffic and Transportation Committee to consider street closure permits at 7:00 pm on Monday 13 December in the City Hall Council Chamber. Keep in mind this is still a preliminary route. In related news, a mass participation (L'Etape du California) ride along a portion of the route is being planned for 7 May 2011, two weeks prior to the Claremont Stage 7 start.
