"The Folsom Experience".....
When the City of Folsom put out an RFP for the Amgen Tour Men's & Women's Finalist Awards, I jumped.
A gift from the City of Folsom, in sculpture form vs. a typical trophy, reminding riders of the Folsom landscape that they experienced during their Stage 2 leg of the
Amgen Tour of California, 2014.
Works were created on glass using a dry brush “painting with glass” technique over two glass layers. Once stack fused, these layers suspend the amazing wildlife and scenic landscape of Folsom’s unique bike trail experience.
These fused glass depictions were then suspended upon a sculpted steel frame that is enhanced to depict a bike route around the American River Parkway.
Alison Powers (UnitedHealthcare) scored a high-profile win when she rode to victory in the Amgen Tour of California Women’s Time Trial.
English star Bradley Wiggins won the individual time trial in Folsom and took the overall.
