Clovis

Although the City of Clovis boasts a population of 100,000, it has managed to maintain the same small town community pride that was envisioned by its early founders. Take, for example, community events such as the annual Rodeo Celebration, Big Hat Days, and weekly Farmers Markets. Clovis, known as the “Gateway to the Sierra,” takes pride in being home to one of the best living environments in California. The city is known for its affordable homes, nationally recognized schools, and as one of the safest cities in the San Joaquin Valley.

"On behalf of the City of Clovis, I am proud to welcome the 2009 Amgen Tour of California. We are very pleased to host this event, and look forward to working with Amgen officials to make the Clovis finish stage a memorable and exciting one. The City of Clovis is honored to be part of this world-class sporting event."
