Colorado bike czar is working on USA Pro Challenge replacement

Well that didn’t take long, did it?

Ken Gart, Colorado’s bike czar, is working on a new professional race for the state to replace the now-defunct USA Pro Challenge, reports Velonews.

This time around, there will be a group of owners, rather than a father-son pair. Maybe they’ll lose $20 million dollars like the last two owners did, but they’ll do it together, dammit.

One other difference is that this will be an event, not just a race, organizers told the Denver Post. That could mean that recreational cyclists will get in on the action.

For now, details are still being worked out.
