Prepare for Utah’s Ultimate Challenge
There are 500 spots available for ambitious cyclists who want to take on the Ultimate Challenge, a course that the pro racers will ride just a few days later during the 2010 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah.
The Ultimate Challenge, on August 14, 2010, is non-competitive ride, but to make it through you’ll need to start training hard. Thee course starts in Park City and ends at Snowbird, with technical climbs and descents. It’s no small feat for even the best cyclists. But a lot of aspiring pros cut their teeth on this course, knowing that it is comparable to many they’ll find abroad. If you’re looking for training goals, the Ultimate Challenge might be one for you to consider. Now seems like a great time to start too, with Utah snow melting away and consecutive days of temperatures higher than 60 degrees.
Recently the Tour of Utah president, Steve Miller, and executive director, Karen Weiss, appeared on Park City TV to talk about the upcoming Tour of Utah and the Ultimate Challenge. You can watch the YouTube clip here:
