Bakersfield shows up on the cycling map.

Stage 5 of the Amgen Tour of California will lead cyclists through the town of Bakersfield. It is one of the best times in the year to visit this town, since your favourite cyclists will race through the town. You wouldn’t want to miss a glimpse of them, would you?

Mercy Hospital of Bakersfield is the local sponsor of the race. Amongst the competitors will be Lance Armstrong who will finish atop the Panorama Bluffs between 3 and 4:15 p.m. Bakersfield is one of three stages in the race with a circuit finish. The cyclists will have to make 21/2 laps up the bluffs to Fairfax Drive before completing the race.

Alongside the cycling race will be the Lifestyle Festival beginning about 11:30 a.m. The Festival is an interactive expo where more than 40 vendors will showcase the latest products and services across many industries. Local artists from the Arts Council of Kern will perform throughout the day on the entertainment stage. Cancer survivors and their caregivers will be recognized during the Breakaway Mile, a celebratory walk that aims at raising awareness for cancer research. A celebrity tricycle race will take place.

Jet charter is fast becoming an essential tool for many of today’s busy executives who need to maximize the efficiency of their working day. FlyMeNow is one of the leading jet charter providers in UK.

An interesting and pleasing aspect of the event will be that it will be as ‘green’ as possible, meaning the organizers are trying their level best to keep it environmental friendly. Food merchants are required to use recyclable utensils, cups and serving containers. Select booths will utilize power from a 48-foot flatbed solar-panel truck provided by Pure Energy Solar. Bike Bakersfield will provide a complimentary bike valet.
