You do know that the Tour of California Bike Race

is going to start right here in Nevada City in May, right. I have added a link to Cascadeshores.org home page so you can get the details easily. Lots of great info on their website, like, did you know that the reason for this race is to help people living with cancer? You can submit your name as a volunteer. You can check the full route, and they have a awesome video tour of Nevada City, Grass Valley, Foresthill Bridge in Auburn (tallest bridge in Ca, and 3rd tallest in US). All this I learned from the site, and all of which I will probably forget by tomorrow. This is huge folks. We could see upward of 100 thousand visitors on that weekend, and it could mean gazillions of dollars for local merchants. We definitely don't have the hotel rooms for as many as will need. Not sure where they will put everyone, but if you have a rental for the weekend, I would put it on Craigs List pronto.
