Platinum Performance is delighted to welcome cyclists and cycling fans to the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, our home and company headquarters.
The Santa Ynez Valley includes six communities, all known for genuine old-California hospitality and friendliness, including Ballard, Buellton, Santa Ynez, Solvang, and Los Olivos.
Los Olivos, where Platinum Performance was founded, is a great place to view the Solvang Stage of the 2007 Amgen Tour of California, part of a eight-day race by 18 international cycling teams through 650 miles of scenic landscape from Northern to Southern California. Nearly 25,000 fans are expected to take in Stage 5 of the Tour de France-style event on February 23. |

Be sure to stop by the Platinum Performance booth at the Solvang portion of the Lifestyle Festival, an interactive eight-day, free-to-the-public “festival” that will travel with the Tour of California. The festival will be located near the finish line in Solvang and will feature race-day activities such as health screenings, cancer awareness education, bicycle stunt shows, live music, sweepstakes drawings, family activities and interactive displays and presentations featuring more than 40 participating companies.
