The entire cycling community, the town and what felt like the world of international competitive cycling turned out on a sunny Tuesday morning to host the USA Pro Challenge. Many sports junkies acknowledge that the guys who rolled down F Street today are some of the world’s most amazing athletes. We’re still reeling.
It felt like a wedding; so much work and then? It’s over. We had the good fortune to see near countless meetings in our conference room as Andy and Angela and others paraded visitors through town —while also putting on the Salida Classic this summer? We are in awe at the amount of time allocated to hosting this event. Thanks to everyone who made this happen. Hats off to SCR, the sponsors and volunteers.
See Mayor Chuck’s words here or read about the day’s race!
Thanks for the sweet coverage Bill! Take a village, and boy can this community make things happen! Awesome day Salidans! USA ProCycling…see you back in Chaffee County, TOMORROW!!!!!
This was impressive … I would have expected nothing less from the fine citizens of this great little town (with a huge heart). Well done!
Hats off to our ENTIRE community!! It took everyone to pull off such a huge event. This did not go unnoticed by the UPCC head honchos and the thousands of visitors who discovered our awesome and fun little town. Thanks so much Bill for keeping the memory alive with your video footage!!!
