Entering its 7th year, the Tour de Murrieta is perfectly placed on the calendar to encourage cyclist to spend the month of March training in sunny Southern California before racing the San Dimas Stage Race and the Redlands Classic.
Saturday’s course in historic downtown Murrieta always provides excellent racing and places to view the event but the the annual Pacific Western Bank Kid’s Race usually steals the show.
Past race winners and strong performances have come from: Chris Horner, Chad Beyer, Jonathan Cantwell, Sean Mazich and from women participants such as Olympic cyclist Sarah Hammer, Beatriz Rodriguez and Dotsie Bausch.
