Today we drove down to our old stomping grounds in Utah. The Tour of Utah is a new race that, for the Elite riders, starts with a criterium in downtown Provo. Since my form is still lacking, I decided to race with the Masters 35+ instead of torturing myself in the Pro/1/2 field. So my race doesn’t start for a couple of days. After seeing the Provo criterium course I was kind of glad. The Start/Finish line is on Center Street, then only a couple hundred yards past you have to do a complete 180 turn around the median and go the other way! That means every lap the pack would slow down to 8 MPH then have to accelerate back up to speed. Heather raced while I took photos. I’ll let Heather write the details of how the race unfolded, but from my perspective, the race looked pretty tame with everyone content with a pack finish. No one wanted to waste energy with five more stages to go.
