Where will you be watching stage 6?
- ride up coal creek for the start and then ride back
down and into Boulder for the finish... by then the new
shoulders on Hwy 93 should be finished
- ride up one of the many western routes from Boulder
and watch the ascend out of Ned and then return for
the finish
Is it possible that the Boulder Rally for the US Pro Challenge made a difference. Or did the city bend and cough up some $$$. Maybe it was just the most obvious choice, either way, the US Pro Cycling Challenge is coming to Boulder 2012.
All I know at this moment is the start is in Lakewood or Golden, up coal creek -> Peak to Peak ->Lefthand Canyon ->Boulder!
The big question everyone will be asking, where in Boulder will it finish? In the heart of the city or something more spectacular like Flagstaff Amphitheater?
Keep returning to the Daily Camera for more details!
