This was a great even all over the state with the final day going from Golden to Denver (with the top three finishers from the Tour of France. We were able to watch the riders pass through town three times and there was a big screen set up in the park to watch the live feed of the race. Turn out for the entire week of racing is estimated at over 1 million with the Golden to Denver stage drawing well of 250,000 people.
I have never been to a road cycling event and this was really one of the cooliest things I have been to. Really hope Golden gets a stage next year. So much Colorado pride shown all week....we really do live in a cool state, can't imagine being anywhere else.
Some warming up....
Colorado pride.....
Here they go....even on the "slow" roll out these guys are going fast.
