Thank you for posting this information. My dh and I are planning to attend the time trial in Solvang. How exciting to think we will be able to watch the women race. Now I know we will need to arrive early.

We were in Solvang two years ago for the time trials and it was great!!! Last year we were able to see the race in Bakersfield & Thousand Oaks. But I think the day we spent in Solvang for the time trials was the best ever.

I just got back from a cycling camp in Solvang and the TT route is part of one of the rides we did. I would have loved to have been there for that stage...I'm sure that anyone that goes will have a blast!
