Race Preview - Stage 4 USA Pro Challenge 2015
Racers and spectators know this exit from Aspen well, and this entrance into Breckenridge well. But although it might seems this route is repeated every year, the only time this exact route has been used in the USA Pro Challenge from Aspen to Breckenridge, was in 2013.
2013 was the year a Forest Ranger was seen hula hooping on Independence Pass and a solo rider was first to the summit of Independence Pass.
In Breckenridge, these three men stood on the podium at the end of the day.
