2. ABOUT THE USA PRO CYCLING CHALLENGE: The USA Pro Cycling Challenge is the largest spectator event in Colorado history and one of the largest sporting events to ever take place in the United States. For seven consecutive days, 128 of the world’s top athletes race across 518 miles through the majestic Rockies, reaching higher altitudes than they’ve ever had to endure, more than two miles in elevation. It’s the best of the best in professional cycling, competing on a challenging course through some of America’s most beautiful scenery, including cities such as Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge and Steamboat Springs. Referred to as “America’s Race” the inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge took place August 22-28, 2011. With more than one million spectators at the event, as well as national television exposure on NBC and VERSUS, the USA Pro Cycling Challenge is one of the largest cycling events in United States history.
