Although the official race with the world-class athletes doesn’t start until August 18 in Aspen/Snowmass, today’s USA Pro Challenge Experience race in Larimer County should start the wheels turning. And you don’t need to limit yourself to watching: You can ride yourself.
There are three race options — a 25-mile, 50-mile or 100-mile ride — plus a Champions Challenge featuring three teams of thirty riders, each captained by a national champion cyclist. The festivities start at 7 a.m. at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, and a post-event festival will take place after the race is complete. Registration is $80 to $100; visit usaprocyclingchallenge.com/ride-information-august-10-2014 for more information or to sign up.
