Referred to as “America’s Race,” the USA Pro Challenge will take place August 18-24, 2014. For
seven consecutive
days, the world’s top athletes race through the majestic Colorado
Rockies, reaching higher altitudes than they’ve ever had to endure.
One of the largest cycling events in U.S. history and the largest
spectator event in the history of the state, the USA Pro Challenge is
back for 2014. Featuring a challenging course, the fourth annual race
will spotlight the best of the best in professional cycling and some of
America’s most beautiful scenery.
Plan
now to see the 2014 USA Pro Challenge cycling race along Monarch Pass.
Ski Town Condos at Monarch is the perfect lodging choice to watch the
race along Hwy 50: Aug 20 Gunnison to Salida, then back up to its first
mountaintop finish with a stage ending atop Monarch Mountain. With a
base elevation of 10,790 feet, it will be the highest stage in North
America.
