So I went to the pro challenge this year and took some photos. It was awesome and I want to move to Breckenridge.
Rohan Dennis climbing the last KOM before the finish in Breckenridge.
Brent Bookwalter closely behind:
Taylor Phinney's back! (pun!):
It was kind of comical watching tourists climb this hill all morning at about 5mph and then watching the pros fly up it at 20mph or so...and this guy riding a wheelie up it:
A well-deserved beer:
Ted King up front, Phil Gaimon in the orange:
Time Trialing in Breckenridge the following day:
Rohan destroying the field:
Hauling ass through Denver, I think they were hitting speeds close to 40mph that day:
There's a pile of other photos here...this was my first bike race so I went a bit overboard. Definitely a fun time and will probably go back next year. I totally got a bottle too, which was pretty exciting.
