We came up to the condo this weekend to watch the first USA Pro Cycling Challenge as it rolled through Breckenridge. The fifth stage today started in steamboat springs and finished in breckenridge. It was amazing to see some of the best cyclists in the world up close. Many of the competitors in this race competed in the Tour de France about six weeks ago. I have become a major fan over the past few years and it was really fun to see! Here is a video of the front peloton flying around the corner.
Sabrina had just woken up from a nap when we whisked her out the door to watch the finish of the race so she was a bit stunned by the crowds and the noise, but when she saw he first of many motorcycles, she got really excited. She said "motorcycle just like Poppy's!" and later she said "Lots of motorcycles". I guess that WAS part of it! As you can see there really were a lot of motorcycles zooming past.
Brent has a few more photos on his camera so we might amend this post later with a few other shots of the event. And we also got some pretty photos of our morning hike up Spruce Creek Trail.
The race ends tomorrow in Denver so we are going to try our best to avoid the crowds and traffic and get back home! Great to see so many people up in the mountains but we really hope not to see them on the roads.
