Bummer to see Tahoe omitted from the men's race, but good to see it will get some coverage for the women's side of things. Hopefully a trial run to move a men's stage up there next year.
As was said above, I get that they need to move the course around year to year, but there are some major geographical gaps in coverage across the 10 year history of this race. Something like Bridgeport to Mariposa via Yosemite would be great. Or Lee Vining to a MTF at South Lake via June Lake loop with sprint points in Mammoth and Bishop.
I realize the tour needs $$ and town support to survive, but interest will drop off if it's the same ole same ole year after year.
