Stage 2: ‘Tour de France in our backyard'

The party was on the pass.

Spectators jammed Independence Pass on Wednesday to take part in a spectacle that impressed the riders in the USA Pro Cycling Challenge and left bike race fans hoping the inaugural event won't be the last for Colorado.

For the crowd, which local authorities guessed numbered 3,000-plus, Wednesday's grueling “Queen Stage” was the one to see, and Independence Pass, southeast of Aspen, was the place to see it.

“This is the quintessential stage. This is the absolute pinnacle of the race,” said Zak Bristol of Boulder.

“It's a chance to see the best cyclists in the world go as slowly as I do,” said Rob Dollars of Frisco.
