Amgen Tour of California offering VIP options for intimate insiders' look at 800-mile race

Cycling enthusiasts can bring lawn chairs and a sack lunch and hope for a good spot near a finish line. Or, there's another way to witness the upcoming Amgen Tour of California.

Organizers are now offering VIP packages designed to give up-close-and-personal vantage points to the country's biggest bike race.

With prices ranging from $250 to $3,500, the fifth annual event is offering close-range perspectives of the race — not too dissimilar from being in an NFL huddle or in the dugout during a Major League baseball.

The Amgen Tour of California packages, of course, are for the 800-mile, non-stadium, May 16-23, Nevada City to Thousand Oaks, California, event.

According the event literature: "the race is offering unique VIP experiences for everyone from the cycling enthusiast, to the casual fan, to the general thrill seeker. The one-of-a-kind VIP experiences are unlike any other opportunity and will allow fans to get right in the action of the professional cycling race."
