Impact Action Day – August 22, 2014

2014 USA Pro Cycling Challenge – Woodland Park, CO

2014 USA Pro Cycling Challenge

The 2014 USA Pro Challenge professional cycling stage race, will be taking place Aug. 18-24 here in Colorado.  Woodland Park has been selected as the starting point for Stage 5 of this world-class race.  This is the largest spectator event in the history of the state!

Impact is using this huge, fun event for one of our church family action days this summer.  There are three different 3-hour time slots to sign-up for or work as long as you want.  Our goal is to provide 125 volunteers from Impact this year.  Everyone signing up right away will receive a great looking t-shirt for the event.

This is your opportunity to “Impact” our community and see some of the toughest athletes in the world.  The 2014 USA Pro Challenge will test the riders’ strength and endurance over a 550-mile course. To give fans the opportunity to see theses amazing athelete up close and in action, there will be at least one circuit lap before leaving town.

The Stage 5 route will leave Woodland Park, heading west then north through some of the most picturesque terrain in Colorado. The route takes the riders on a quiet run through the Pike National Forest on Tarryall Rd., which was unpaved until just last year and the riders will christen it properly with high speeds and lots of breakaway attempts. The action really starts when the race hits Fairplay and begins the long grind up 11,500 ft. Hoosier Pass, the highest point in the race, then it is on to Breckenridge

Host city information, maps and elevation profiles are available on the race website.
