USA Pro Cycling Challenge



One week today marks the start of the 1st USA Pro Cycling Challenge. A seven day, 600 mile stage race. It even includes a climb to the highest altitude ever! Taking place in the Colorado Rockies this has all the potential to be an EPIC ride!

The Challenge is a Prologue plus six stage tour. Stage 2 looks grueling; TWO climbs that peak at over 12,000 ft! The oxygen levels are really going to test the riders! There is a time trial stage also.

Some big names are coming to Colorado for the ride including the top three from this year’s Tour de France. Full provisional line up can be found here.

You can read more about the USA Pro Cycling Challenge at their official website. It’s a really good site. They have done a great job on this one.

While you’re there check out the gifts section of the store here. There are some awesome posters that would look great on your walls.

You will be able to catch all the action on Versus & NBC August 22nd-28th. I for one can’t wait to see this. My DVR is all set up.
