The public is invited to experience all the action and excitement of the Santa Barbara Stage Four finish of the Amgen Tour of California professional cycling race at a VIP Viewing Party on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 from 12:00 – 4:00 p.m..
“We’re reserving a special tent on Cabrillo Boulevard right at the finish line that will feature a ‘Taste of Santa Barbara’ food selection, cold beverages, prime viewing location and three big-screen TVs showing all the approaching action as 128 cyclists race here from the day’s start in Santa Clarita. You don’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be close enough to the action to feel the rush as racers sprint for the finish,” says Susie Willett, co-chair of the Amgen Tour of California-Santa Barbara Local Organizing Committee (LOC).
The VIP Viewing Party will feature the Stage Four winner’s prize on display before it is awarded—a stunning original illustrated artwork by renowned Santa Barbara artist Jake Early. Additionally, a silent auction will offer Mr. Early’s limited and signed serigraph prints along with autographed ATOC team jerseys and other lifestyle items.
Tickets for the VIP Viewing Party are $75 per person (prior to May 12) and $100 per person (after May 12) at www.SantaBarbaraTourOfCalifornia.com with quantity limited on a first come basis. All net proceeds from the Santa Barbara VIP Viewing Party will benefit the Julie Main Endowment in Santa Barbara (for cancer research) and the Bike Coalition.
