New U.S. stage race in Colorado?

She is not "out there", just that she was well known for berating cyclists breaking traffic laws. Mind you, this was well before the legislature changed the laws that now allow us rolling stops at stop signs. After she yelled at me (for blasting through a stop sign where you could see if there was any approaching traffic) I asked her about it several weeks later. Her point was that with so many people already antagonistic towards cycling and cyclists, why give them another reason. Makes sense. From then on, I have always used hand signals with vehicles around even if I know there won't be any conflict.

When did you live in Durango?

Glass and tacks found alongside parts of the course. Saboteurs? In any case be careful riding you bike.

Just finished the itt in vail

I wish the Post would not publish this story. It only encourages copy cats or the nut(s) doing it.

Am headed out west tomorrow to see this race. I'm expecting this race to immediately eclipse Utah and California - it is certainly a much more spectacular and spectator-friendly venue than either. Actually, nothing in America has even ever surpassed the glory days of the Tour du Pont (nee Tour de Trump) in Va. and N.C., but I'm expecting this to finally do it.

Huh? CA had racing around cities that have more population than the entire state of CO. All the stages in UT were within a half hour of the largest population center in the state. Not sure how CO is more spectator friendly than either of those. And while I'd agree that the Rocky Mountain terrain is spectacular, I'm not sure how it beats out the Highway 1 stages in CA.

And I'd certainly say that the old Coors Classic was a lot better than Tour duPont/Trump, both in terms of quality of stages and quality of competition.

For those in Australia and you have Austar/Foxtel, it will be shown live on Fox Sports from 6am. Hopefully they do replays/highlights later at night as I'll be at work then
