2018 Amgen Tour of California: Men’s Stage 6 Start
Friday, May 18, 2018 | 8 am – 10 am
Johnny Cash Trail, Natoma St, Folsom, California
FREE

The City of Folsom hosted Time Trials in 2014 and 2016. For 2018, this daunting stage will start with a pass of Folsom’s newly completed the Johnny Cash Trail, a unique 3-mile trail that honors the memory of the singer and his historic performance at the Folsom prison in 1968. Then the fun begins – 122 miles featuring more than 16,000 feet of climbing, four KOMs (including Kingsbury Grade for the first time) and an uphill finish. The elevation in Folsom is just 275’. The racers will see 8,600’ as they crest Carson Pass and will finish in South Lake Tahoe at Heavenly at 6,600’.
