Over the Top Radio - Amgen Tour of California

Team Sky's Ian Boswell checks in from the Amgen Tour of California post Stage 4. 

If Stage 3 was the hardest stage of the 2014 race, Stage 4 is arguably the most beautiful. The City of Monterey will host the Stage 4 start at Alvarado Street. With a spectacular backdrop of the Monterey Bay, fisherman heading out for the day's catch, and the sound of harbor seals, the riders will head south on one of the most iconic roadways in the world...Hwy 1. Along the way to Cambria, the riders will vie for one Sprint in Big Sur and three KOMs.

The route will feature spectacular ocean vistas, crashing waves, lighthouses, State Parks, elephant seals, herds of zebra, and Hearst Castle. Cambria is hosting the race for the first time. This is one of the quaintest towns in the USA. Half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Cambria has the ideal mix of the ocean, wineries, shopping, and great restaurants.
