USA Pro Cycling Challenge starts Today
The USA Pro Cycling Challenge will be taking place today on Monday August 22nd. The race begins at the Garden of the Gods with riders released at one minute intervals starting at 1:15 p.m., they descend out of Garden of the Gods at an incredibly fast pace, reaching speeds up to 50 miles per hour or more. This is a great crowd stage, because the riding will be very fast, with many dramatic turns on the downhill for viewing, and one viewing spot will allow you opportunity to see each individual rider and their personal strategy for negotiating fast turns and high speeds. This stage will also bring out the best of the best technology – teams will be breaking out their ultimate speed vehicles in their quest to wear the yellow jersey during the first road stage. The Prologue takes the cyclists 5.5 miles out of Garden of the Gods, through Old Town Colorado Springs and into downtown for the finish.
The race will be nationally televised and will begin at Noon and going through 4:00 pm. Colorado Street will be closed to thru traffic.
