USA Pro Cycling Challenge Names Durango a Host City!

The 2012  USA Pro Cycling Challenge will be held August 20 - 26 and will be starting off in Durango!  There will be seven stages this year instead of six and will have stops in Telluride, Montrose, Crested Butte, Aspen, Beaver Creek, Brekenridge, Colorado Springs, Golden, Boulder and finish in Denver.  The official race announcement is TODAY with a live Internet broadcast at 5:15 p.m. MST that will feature some of the top racers from 2011, as well as more details about the 2012 race route.



Durango, Telluride, Montrose, and Boulder are all new to the list for 2012. Durango is a particularly notable choice: According to USA Pro Cycling Challenge promoters, "Durango is home to more professional cyclists, national champions and Olympians per capita than any other town in the United States."

The race has also been upgraded to a 2.HC ranking, "the highest registration level next to the Tour de France," according to race promoters.  Be sure to check out the full 2012 stage breakdown of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge!
