Orange Blossom
Tour of the
Sierra Foothills
April 17, 2010
Orange Blossom Tour of the Sierra Foothills: The
Tour begins in the town of Lindsay and winds its way through
green, rolling foothills and lush orange groves, where the
fragrance of orange blossoms will entice you around the next
bend to what might be revealed. This is a fully SAG-supported
event and also provides three rest stops along the way. After
your first stop in the Frasier Valley, the tour leads you through
gentle rolling hills and expansive, historic ranchlands, as you
approach the base of the majestic, Sierra Nevada Mountains.
The Tour next guides you along the meandering Tule River to
the quaint mountain town of Springville, famous for its annual
Apple Festival and Rodeo. While pedaling along the Tule
River, a careful eye may reward you with a view of a deer or
an eagle. After a break at the Springville Park you will begin
your ascent to the Blue Ridge saddle, the highest point of the
tour at 2,700 feet elevation where you will be welcomed by
your third rest stop and a magnificent, panoramic view! After
resting here and taking in the scenery you will enjoy a long
and winding descent through the beautiful Yokohl Valley,
which has portions of its lower elevations set aside for a
progressive, recreation-based, master planned community in
the future. After departing the Yokohl Valley, there is one
more climb over a hill locally known as Capsu before beginning your descent and return to Lindsay and McDermont
Field House, a 172,000 square foot sports, recreation, and
entertainment facility. Once at McDermont Field House, park
your bike indoors and enjoy a hot shower before partaking in
gourmet sandwiches and homemade ice cream provided by
the locally famous, Orange Works Café.
$40 per rider includes a tee shirt, snacks
along the way, and a gourmet lunch with
homemade ice cream by Orange Works Café
at ride’s end. The Tour starts and ends at the
three-acre indoor sports, recreation, and
entertainment facility, McDermont Field
House, located at 365 N. Sweet Brier Avenue,
Lindsay CA 93247.
