Lorrie, the folks from Merced/Atwater are talking about riding up from the Del Puerto side early before the race. I'll extend the invitation now for you to join us, even though we don't have solid plans yet. Let me know if you're interested and I'll keep you posted.

Anyone else is welcome, and the invitation to bunk at my house is still open, as well -- if you can take my three kids, dog, and hubby. lol I live about 35 minutes south of Modesto -- less if you drive fast -- but the room & grub are free of charge.

To add to Zen's initial link, here's all the route maps: 2008 Amgen route maps
