See those cyclists racing by? It was the 5th day of the 2012 USA Pro Cycling Challenge and I had a birds' eye view from my window at work!
The cycling challenge is a 7 day event that started in Durango and will end up in Denver on Sunday! On the day they raced through Woodland Park, they started out in Breckenridge and came through about 2:00 - people were camped out along the highway in their lawn chairs, waving their flags and it was quite the sight! Hwy 24 was shut down, most of the town had closed down by noon and there were lots of parties and activities around the area!
The cyclists had a 117.9 mile road in front of them but this day was a lot easier for them than the day before where they had to go over Independence Pass over by Aspen! We had an install scheduled for that day over there but had to rearrange it due to the closing of the pass!
I guess the disappointing part was that they were all going so fast that if you blinked more than once, you didn't see them!! Still, it was neat to see them ride by!
