It includes a women's crit in Santa Rosa on Feb 15:

Additionally, fans in Santa Rosa will have the opportunity to watch the second-annual Amgen Tour of California Women’s Criterium. Held in conjunction with Stage 1 of the Amgen Tour of California, the Women's Criterium will begin at 1 p.m. and will showcase some of the world's top professional women cyclists competing for $15,000 in prizes. Set as a category Pro 1/2 race, the Amgen Tour of California Women's Criterium will have a limit of eight riders per team. Once again using portions of the Stage 1 men’s finishing circuit in Santa Rosa, the Women’s Criterium will bring the thrill of professional women’s cycling to fans in the hours just before the men’s finish in downtown Santa Rosa.

Yes, and if you want to see Lance, he'll be in full view in the peloton coming from Davis the day before. We go to Moskovite Corner as that's a great viewing spot. We might change our location a bit as it is much more fun watching them come up hills (as they did the last 3 times) going the other way. Usually not many people are out there which means we don't have to worry about crowds!

I'd love to see the crits in Santa Rosa- am wondering how many others are thinking the same thing!!!

Maybe I will have a motorcycle back in time to follow some of the stages... Sigh..
