The stage today seems like a crazy ride! 99 miles with 15k of climbing. There was at least a 15 min gap between the first rider and the last rider at the 70 mile mark. After watching them all go by we got in the car to watch them come over the top of the climb and we past by to riders who were holding onto a car getting towed up the hill for I would say about a mile. And no they were not at the window getting worked on, they were holding on near the back of the car. We were going to yell 'cheaters' at them but know how hard of a climb they were on (I've done this section before) I figured no big deal. Very cool to see real racing going on here in Utah!

Rock racing has got everything very tricked out. All of their support cars are black Cadillac’s with the rock racing logos all over them. Very cool looking. Kind of funny though is the rock racing owner has this big security group all around him. Like 5 or 6 guy all in dark suits with ear pieces in everywhere he goes. I wonder what he thinks is going to happen to him at a bike race??
He seems to think that people won't look at him and see how awesome he is.

You looked, so it worked.
