Stage 5 of the Amgen Tour of California is in the books. 24-year-old Toms Skujins from Latvia burst across the finish line at Heavenly Mountain Resort at the last second Thursday, edging out Adam De Vos of Canada and Xabier Zandio of Spain to take the win.
The day began as riders left Lodi at 50 feet above sea level, and crossed the finish line 130 miles later in South Lake Tahoe at 6,650 feet.

Not only do people around South Lake Tahoe get the opportunity to watch international stars of men's cycling on Thursday, they also get to watch the women as the Amgen Tour of California features both races.
There will be a Lifestyle Festival in the parking lot at Heavenly California Base Lodge from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This is the starting and ending point for the women's race, as well as the finish for the men, so a great viewing spot, but there are other opportunities to watch the cyclists as they zip by all through town.
