The 2012 race brings new challenges to the world's top professional / elite women cyclists.

Aspen, a cycling mecca in the Rocky Mountains, is proudly hosting the only professional cycling event for women during the much-hyped, all-male USA Pro Cycling Challenge which rolls through Aspen on August 22nd and 23rd, 2012. Not content to just watch the race from the sidelines, two-time national champion and Aspen resident Jessica Phillips decided to create an event just for the ladies.

Top riders from around the world, including Phillips, will participate in front of crowds of up to 50,000 people, and proceeds from the race will be used to support young women’s athletic programs in the Aspen/Snowmass area.

2012 Stages:

8/20: Stage 1- Prologue Time Trial. Venue is TBD but will allow fans and spectators a great opportunity to get up close to the racers for autographs or photos.

8/21: Stage 2 - 35 mile circuit race around scenic Snowmass. Last year Kristin Armstrong (Olympic Gold Medalist) won this stage from a two-woman breakaway.

8/22: Stage 3 - Fast and technical criterium in front of the thousands of fans lined up to see the finish of the men’s race in downtown Aspen.

8/23: #160;
