US Pro Cycling Challenge

This is the second year for the US Pro Cycling Challenge (professional bike race in Colorado). We missed going last year. They made it easy for us this year with a Golden to Boulder stage. We drove out and parked along Hwy 93 and got to see the guys we watch in the Tour de France fly by our own eyes. It was exciting yet very fast. Now I know why there are so many people watching on the mountain stages and not on the flats. The riders aren't going 40 mph past you!

We dressed Gavin and Trevor in their US Healthcare jerseys that I got from the hospital last year. I also pulled out the Courage Classic cow bells. The boys enjoyed ringing and ringing and ringing them. When we got home, the bells vanished! Hmm.

The boys in their jerseys (both holding cow bells)!

The break away!

 The peloton flying by. Is that Levi Leipheimer?

 Two seconds later... the end of the peloton.

Team BMC team car. And that was the bike race!
