Recapping Phase 2 of the 2019 Amgen Tour That Came Through Downtown Placerville
We are so excited that the Amgen Tour was once again able to make it through our beautiful town!
Due to possible snow issues, the tour almost had to bypass Placerville. Lucky for us, the weather was cooperative! Yay!
What Is The Amgen Tour?

At the race, attendees even got to experience an old time mock shoot out by the Hangtown Mashalls.
Cowbells were also provided for the race watchers and there was even a parade and band performance!
