It goes right past our place and I am debating watching the riders. Might be fun, but I think it will mainly be a lot of waiting around and only a couple minutes of excitement.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Please don't forget to plan ahead for the delays that are expected on Hwy 285 today for the Pro Cycling Challenge. If you are heading to Golden this weekend, there will be some road closures/delays there as well.

This stage’s serene first 80 miles hide a vicious finish and a last chance for climbing specialists to really make a move. Starting in the new host community of Woodland Park, Stage 5 heads west then north through some of the most picturesque terrain in Colorado. A quiet run through the Pike National Forest on Tarryall Rd., then 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, where last year’s challenging finish up Moonstone Rd. will be repeated again. This nasty little climb can kill a break or launch a winner.
Start Time: 11:20am MT
