USA Pro Cycling Challenge
August 26 - 27, 2011
The USA Pro Cycling Challenge (formerly Quiznos Pro Challenge) is the most demanding bike race ever held on American soil, with racers experiencing breathless altitudes, day after day. The race is on the level of the Tour de France, bringing the high speeds, danger and adrenaline of professional biking to elevations over 2 miles high in some of the most picturesque terrain in the world—the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

A Legacy.
Steamboat Springs is no stranger to major cycling events having hosted the Mercury Tour from 1997 – 1999. Annual cycling events include the Tour de Steamboat, Ride 4 Yellow, Steamboat Springs Stage Race as well as the Steamboat Springs Town Challenge Mountain Bike Race Series that regularly draws over 200 riders, and a road racing series run by the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club Cycling Team.
Steamboat Springs is a community with a rich cycling heritage. The stunning rolling landscape set against the back-drop of the Rocky Mountains provides the compelling reason to why Steamboat Springs has been host to major cycling tours such as Ride the Rockies (1998, 2004 & 2007), The Bicycle Tour of Colorado (1998 & 2007) and the Tour of Wyoming (2009).
