One of the longest running, and most epic stage races, for both the pros and am's in the US. Altitude, climbing, and 5 days worth of real racing, regardless of the cat on your license.

22 years. The win/participant list is a who's who of US cycling history.

I've talked to any number of former pros who would list this as one of their favorite all time races.
