Team kitchen, a rolling Garmin Gourmet unit, is being operated by Barb Grealish, who is one of the few Gluten free tour chefs on the road. While the video below is not from this years USPCC, you get an idea of what they do. To learn more about how they roll, check out argyleteamkitchen.wordpress.com/ Here is a snippet

Chef Barb pulled into Crested Butte after an almost 3 hour transfer from Telluride. The final 1/2 mile was probably the hardest because all of team buses and event staff got stuck in the same line as the spectators and didn’t move. The volunteers were doing an excessive fantastic job stopping traffic! We all finally pulled into the other lane and went forward. That is very stressful when you are trying to beat the race and get all the pre-prep ready.

Saturday is going to be extremely fun and bike centric, but to keep your fun level up and frustration level down watch the video below explaining some of the "need to knows" like parking (but who will be driving). 303Cycling will be in downtown Boulder (15th and Pearl) announcing next to a giant JumboTran as we interview the Mayor and talk to Michael Aisner while he is out on course. We will also be at the CandyShop on 15th street. As mentioned in the video USAPro Boulder has created an interactive website yet at the time of posting this map does not seem to be operating correctly. Also know, to get onto Flagstaff you will need a wristband, learn how you can get a Flagstaff wristband and for those not going to Flagstaff, here are time estimates of when they will be where on stage 6. While this should not need be stated, be mindful of the racers on course, this is not the Basque region, you do not need think you are living like a euro. We can rise above this.

Boulder, Colo. (August 21, 2012) – The 2012 USA Pro Challenge is off to an exciting start, and the City of Boulder is gearing up to host the Stage 6 finish on Aug. 25 with a thrilling finish on Boulder’s Flagstaff Mountain.

On race day, spectators wishing to watch the Stage on Flagstaff Mountain will be required to acknowledge the “Code of Conduct” for access to the mountain, and a wristband reflects that acknowledgment. FREE Tyvek wristbands will be available on race day at the three access points to Flagstaff: 1) on Baseline Road at the base of Flagstaff by Gregory Canyon; 2) the View Point Trailhead; and 3) Realization Point by the entrance to the amphitheatre finish.

Additionally, advance commemorative silicone wristbands (which also provide access) can be picked up at select locations around Boulder for a $5 donation to be used for Flagstaff-related expenses.
