USA Pro Challenge brought $99.6 million to Colorado!!!!!
Posted: November 7, 2012 Filed under: Colorado, Cycling | Tags: Aspen, August, August 2012, Bicycle Racing, Colorado, Colorado Springs, Cycling, Denver, Denver Post, Economic Impact, United States, USA Pro Cycling Challenge, USA ProChallenge Leave a commentThis is pretty amazing and backed up by the research done by the Denver Post.
This article by the Denver Post reports about a great bicycle race. However, the article goes beyond that and backs up the press release with additional research. Thanks
Denver Post and Thanks USA Pro Challenge.
Please read the entire article, but here are some of the highlights.
Organizers said the privately funded race stirred $99.6 million in spending, up from $83.5 million last year.
The private firm hired to do the study surveyed 2,000 attendees in host cities and along the route to establish an economic impact of $81.5 million spent on lodging, food, transportation and entertainment. The rest came from race support.
The Denver Post found that visitation was around 5,000 to 7,500 at each of the first few stops of the race in Telluride, Montrose, Crested Butte and Gunnison. Crowds began swelling, with 10,000 to 15,000 in Aspen, Beaver Creek and Breckenridge.
Numbers for the first half of the race fell below expectations. Leaders in some communities said they were prepared for at least twice as many spectators.
The Forest Service was braced for tens of thousands atop Independence Pass outside Aspen and counted fewer than 1,500, (which happens when you make too many rules and make it a bad place to watch the race USFS!)
….all host cities embraced the race, noting the long-term value from the race’s exposure and televised coverage.
Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks counted 10,000 spectators lining Boulder’s climactic finish on Flagstaff Mountain, roughly a third of the number expected for the final 4-mile ascent. (Again, Boulder made the mountain inhospitable (a pain in the butt to get too) so no one went up to watch the race.)
Most host cities across Colorado reported increased sales-tax collections for August.
Durango’s sales and use tax for August 2012 was $1.27 million, a 5.7 percent increase from the previous August. August 2012 sales tax collections for Durango were the highest for the month since 2008.
The Town of Telluride, where local organizers estimated the Pro Challenge drew about 6,000 for the finish of Stage 1 on Monday Aug. 20, saw a 21 percent jump in sales tax revenue in August,….
City of Montrose estimated 5,000 spectators watched the start of Stage 2 on Tuesday, Aug. 21. The city saw its August sales tax climb 0.8 percent over the previous August….
Town of Crested Butte saw its sales tax collections increase 1.7 percent in August 2012,… The local Mountain Express bus service saw a 25 percent increase in ridership on race day.
Aspen sold out every one of its 3,200 rentable units in the city on Aug. 22, the afternoon racers finished Stage 3 in Aspen and the night before the downtown Stage 4 start. … August lodging tax collections (2 percent of total lodging spending) climb 23 percent in August….
The Town of Avon saw an 8.4 percent annual bump in its August 2012 sales tax and a 12.2 percent bump
Breckenridge saw spending on retail, restaurant and lodging climb 6 percent in August 2012….
Colorado Springs had 15,000 people gathered in downtown Colorado Springs to watch the race and another 35,000 lined city streets
Denver‘s lodging tax collections reached $6.3 million in August 2012, compared to $5.9 million in August 2011 and $4.7 million in 2010.
That is a substantial jump in tax for municipalities, cities and the state as well as the cause for the taxation, a lot of money flowing into the area.
How this is the number that is surprising! The people who watched the race were from 25 states, and 53 percent of spectators came from outside Colorado. Come on Colorado, you just got your butt kicked by tourists!
Remember this next spring when the RFP goes out to host the race next year. This race brings money and people to Colorado!

Decision concerning bicycle race clarifies Illinois release law.
Posted: October 22, 2012 Filed under: Cycling, Illinois, Racing | Tags: Bicycle Racing, Cycling, Illinois, Negligence, USA, USA Cycling Leave a commentHellweg v. Special Events Management, 956 N.E.2d 954; 2011 Ill. App. LEXIS 725; 2011 IL App (1st) 103604; 353 Ill. Dec. 826
The court looked at whether the risk that caused the injury to the plaintiff was listed in the release.
The facts in this case are pretty simple. The plaintiff was a participant in a cycling race on a closed course. A closed course in cycling means that no cars or pedestrians are on the course. The cyclists do not have to worry about traffic laws or hitting someone on a closed course.
While practicing for the race, the plaintiff hit a minor on a bicycle who got on the course. The plaintiff had signed the 2009 USA Cycling Event Release Form, which is required before being allowed to race. The plaintiff filed his claim and the defendants, twelve of them, including the minor he hit, moved to dismiss the case based on the release.
The trial court dismissed all twelve defendants, and the plaintiff appealed.
Summary of the case
There are several interesting facts in this case that were not discussed in the appeal that stood out. In the group of twelve defendants, one was the business that put on the race; five were employees and/or agents of the business; one was the city where the race was held and one was a hospital, as well as the minor and his mother.
It is unclear what the claims against the city and the hospital were, however, it appears from the decision that all the plaintiff’s claims were dismissed including those claims. The mother and the minor were all dismissed. The release is the “usually” USA Cycling release, which did not identify the hospital or city individually or in the people protected by the release.
… RELEASE FROM LIABILITY THE ORGANIZERS OF THIS EVENT AND USA CYCLING, INC. (USAC), ITS ASSOCIATIONS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE
AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS, MEMBERS, CLUBS, SPONSORS, PROMOTERS AND AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY ‘RELEASEES’)….
The second major issue is the event organizer, and all of these people relied on the USA Cycling Release to protect them. The release is a general release that does not cover anyone, specifically except USA Cycling. It has no jurisdiction and venue class to speak off and does not cover any specific issues of the individual courses. If you are running an event that has something different from the normal race, different type of course, participants, etc. that is something that you would want to make sure you have covered. The court even pointed out how important those issues were in the release. In this case, the USA Cycling release did cover the issues generally, which gave the plaintiff the basis for his appeal.
The plaintiff argued that since the minor on the course was not something that was ordinary in a cycling race like this, he could not envision that was a risk he was accepting when he signed the release. He argued it could not be foreseen that the defendants would fail to close the course.
The court found that the phrase “ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE [DEFENDANT’S] OWN NEGLIGENCE.” was sufficient to protect the defendants from the suit. The court also said the test of the issue was not whether or not the risk was foreseen by the defendants but whether the broad language of the agreement would allow the court to say the risks were contemplated by the release.
“[A] myriad of factors, which are either obvious or unknown, may singly or in combination result in unexpected and freakish racing accidents. The parties may not have contemplated the precise occurrence which resulted in the plaintiff’s accident, but this does not render the exculpatory clause inoperable. In adopting the broad language employed in the agreement, it seems reasonable to conclude that the parties contemplated the similarly broad range of accidents, which occur in auto racing.
In coming to this decision the appellate court reviewed the way Illinois reviews a release. As in the majority of the states, releases are valid. They are not favored and construed against the person requesting protection by the release. However, if a release must be given fair and reasonable interpretation.
The court then went through the three issues that void releases in Illinois.
[A]bsent fraud or wilful and wanton negligence, the contract will be valid and enforceable unless:
(1) there is a substantial disparity in the bargaining position of the two parties;
(2) to uphold the exculpatory clause would be violative of public policy; or
(3) there is something in the social relationship between the two parties that would militate against upholding the clause.
The releases or ways to void a release in Illinois are no different than in the majority of other states that have been discussed here before. The court went on to explain the specifics required for a release to be enforceable in Illinois:
An exculpatory clause, to be valid and enforceable, should contain clear, explicit, and unequivocal language referencing the types of activities, circumstances, or situations that it encompasses and for which the plaintiff agrees to relieve the defendant from a duty of care. In this way the plaintiff will be put on notice of the range of dangers for which he assumes the risk of injury, enabling him to minimize the risks by exercising a greater degree of caution. The precise occurrence which results in injury need not have been contemplated by the parties at the time the contract was entered into. It should only appear that the injury falls within the scope of possible dangers ordinarily accompanying the activity and, thus, reasonably contemplated by the plaintiff.”
This section is a little different from most decisions about releases. The specific language I’m speaking to is “should contain clear, explicit, and unequivocal language referencing the types of activities, circumstances, or situations that it encompasses and for which the plaintiff agrees to relieve the defendant from a duty of care.…” Many courts mention that the injury was caused by a risk specifically set forth in the release. Here the court said that a release must set forth those risks.
This is a specific issue I push. I believe in doing this for more than a requirement by the courts. 1. If the release is thrown out for any reason, the document may still be used as proof of assumption of the risk. 2. If your guests read the release, it may help them understand the risks or self-filter from the activity.
The court also looked at the argument of the plaintiff, that the risks that caused his injury were not foreseeable and dismissed that argument. The court stated the language stating the release covered all claims arising from the defendant’s negligence was broad enough to warn the plaintiff of the risks.
So Now What?
This is a great case that is easy to read if you are working in Illinois in preparing a release for your business or activity.
This is also an added point to make sure your release identifies the risks of your activity to warn the guests of what may befall them.
If you are creating, running or the owner of an event that is “sanctioned” so that everyone who attends has signed someone else’s event, has your own release created. You need to make sure that you and your employees, volunteers, etc. are protected from the unique or different risks of your event. The perfect example of this would be any race above 8000 feet. At that level, there are increased issues with altitude. A normal race would not cover that because those issues could only occur in Colorado. However, that is specifically an issue that someone from sea level could argue was an issue that you failed to warn them about and could not prove you had warned them because you had not had them sign a release that reviewed the risks.
Furthermore, let people know that nothing is perfect. No matter how high the fence, how much police or protective the barriers, people will find a way to get on the course, sneak on the hill, or break into your program.
Better to waste an extra sheet of paper having guests sign a release than reams of paper to defend a lawsuit.

Aspen adding $100K to its budget for the USA Pro Challenge
Posted: May 3, 2012 Filed under: Cycling | Tags: 2011 USA Pro Cycling Challenge, Aspen, Aspen Colorado, Bicycle Racing, Colorado, Cycle Racing, USA Pro Challenge Leave a commentGreat for Aspen and Pitkin County
Hotel Jerome, Aspen, CO, USA (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
This article is interesting in that it explains how pro-cycling works in the US. The cities involved in the USA Pro Challenge pay to have the race come to their town.
The article shows where the money is coming from and why and how much is being contributed by government and how much is being raised by the community.
This article is also interesting because Aspen reported that it lost money on the 2011 USA Pro Challenge when it came to town. See $83.5 million brought to Colorado by the USA Pro Challenge!

USA Pro-Challenge Route Announced
Posted: April 25, 2012 Filed under: Cycling | Tags: Bicycle Race, Bicycle Racing, Blue Mesa Reservoir, Cottonwood Pass, Glossary of bicycling, Gunnison, Independence Pass, Levi Leipheimer, Lizard Head Pass, USA Pro Challenge Leave a commentThese cyclists are going to work hard this year.
To see a map of each stage of the race go here.
Stage 1: Durango to Telluride – Monday, Aug. 20
This year’s Grand Depart will begin with a unique start of two neutral laps through downtown, followed by a larger 6.5-mile racing loop that encompasses most of town and then heads back through downtown for the first Sprint Line of 2012. A few bumpy feet of road as the racers cross the tracks of Durango’s famous Narrow Gauge Railroad will send the riders on their way out of town toward Telluride. On the ride out of LaPlata County the racers will have to tackle the Hesperus Climb on US 160. After a challenging, rolling ride across the high windswept plains and the second Sprint Line in the town of Dolores, the riders start a gradual canyon climb that lasts more than 30 miles. Topping out over Lizard Head Pass at 10,222 ft., any time gaps gained going up must be maintained on the 15-mile descent into Telluride. A tight and technical finish awaits the riders in the small, scenic town and they must navigate a small round-about and four turns in the last mile before sprinting to the finish line.
Stage 2: Montrose to Crested Butte – Tuesday, Aug. 21
At 99 miles, Stage 2 is a mix of old and new. Beginning with a new course for the first 65 miles, the race then visits familiar territory as it passes through Gunnison and retraces the 2011 route up to the grueling finish in Mt. Crested Butte. Beginning at Montrose Pavilion, the stage will begin with a quick neutral lap, then the riders head east out of town. As Montrose fades into the distance, the short but challenging climbs over Cerro Summit and Blue Mesa Summit await and make for early launch pads for the breakaway specialists.
As the road levels giving way to the picturesque twists and turns along the shores of Blue Mesa Reservoir, the riders approach the first Sprint Line of the day in Gunnison, 65 miles away from the start in Montrose. Gunnison will host the race two days in a row, first as a pass-through in Stage 2 and then as a start city in Stage 3. Moving north out of Gunnison breakaway time gaps will shrink, team leaders will move to the front and domestiques will protect and position their leaders. As the riders head into downtown Crested Butte, they face the day’s last Sprint Line. From there it’s a 2-mile climb to the line at Mt. Crested Butte. A dynamic and exciting uphill finish, this short, but steep hill gave Levi Leipheimer the leader’s jersey in 2011.
Stage 3: Gunnison to Aspen– Wednesday, Aug. 22
In 2011, U.S. stage racing saw one of its toughest days with the ride from Gunnison to Aspen and in 2012 the “Queen Stage” will again feature two of the highest climbs in professional racing. The stage starts in downtown Gunnison with a short neutral section leading out of town; however, as soon as the racing begins, so do the challenges. Just after the first right turn the riders face the first Sprint Line of the day in the small community of Almont. This will most likely be the last time the true sprinters will play a part in this stage, as the race quickly turns uphill and heads toward the first King of the Mountain (KOM) of the day near Taylor Park Reservoir.
A short, flat section on the north side of the reservoir will be the last pavement the field will see for almost 14 miles, as the dirt climb that follows will take the race to 12,126 ft. and the highest point of the week at Cottonwood Pass. A beautiful, twisting descent will take the peloton down into the town of Buena Vista and the second sprint line of the day before heading north on US 24 to Twin Lakes. The left towards Twin Lakes will show the field what is to come as they see the massive ridge in front of them. Although the climb up Independence Pass is paved and not quite as high as Cottonwood, it is sure to produce fireworks again this year. Lined with fans in 2011, the climb to 12,095 ft. caused several gaps in the field that led to an exciting finish in Aspen, which will no doubt be duplicated in 2012.
Stage 4: Aspen to Beaver Creek – Thursday, Aug. 23
Elevation is the main story for Stage 4 because with much of the course above 9,000 ft., it will be anything but easy. Those who conquered Independence Pass on Stage 3 will see it again very early in Stage 4, with the climb starting almost immediately after several neutral start laps in downtown Aspen. Unlike the previous day, the climb may not decide the winner, but will be an ideal launching point for a breakaway or possibly an overall contender to lose time.
Anyone who is brave enough to attack over Independence Pass will be faced with more than 75 miles of racing at altitude. Along the way they will compete for a sprint in the historic town of Leadville, the highest incorporated city in the United States at 10,152 ft. Next on the agenda will be the climb over the Continental Divide at Tennessee Pass (10,424 ft.) before descending into Minturn and tackling the rolling run toward the final climb to Beaver Creek. Passing through the 2011 start city of Avon, the peloton will be faced by a stiff 2.5-mile climb that rises almost 1,000 ft. to the ski resort of Beaver Creek. Although not the fiercest climb on the route, the finale is sure to produce exciting racing, especially among those fighting for the overall lead.
Stage 5: Breckenridge to Colorado Springs – Friday, Aug. 24
Stage 5 will see two returning host cities, but in new roles. A rude awakening is the only way to describe the start of Stage 5 in Breckenridge. After a short flat section through downtown, the riders will have to face the daunting 10-mile climb up Hoosier Pass, which tops out at 11,500 ft. The summit is followed by a fast descent into Fairplay and with that, the high mountains are left behind and a day for the sprinters and breakaway specialists awaits. A fast rush across Colorado’s high plains end with a Sprint Line in Woodland Park where the riders may hit their fastest speeds of the week, and from there they continue downhill to Colorado Springs through the shadow of Pikes Peak. Once in Colorado Springs the route will take a technical uphill run through the Garden of the Gods, home of the 2011 Prologue. From there the route takes a quick downhill run to downtown for the 2012 race’s only finishing circuits. With the peloton passing through the finish line three times as they blast around downtown Colorado Springs, spectators will be treated to a thrilling high-speed, elbow-to-elbow competition.
Stage 6: Golden to Boulder – Saturday, Aug. 25
Stage 6 will depart from Golden, a second-year host city and site of one of the largest crowds in the 2011 race, but not before several circuit laps around downtown provide fans with the chance to cheer on their favorite riders. The peloton will then head north on CO 93 en route to Boulder, a city very well known for its bicycle culture. Upon arrival in downtown Boulder, the sprinters will have an opportunity to earn valuable points with a sprint line adjacent to the Pearl Street Mall and the USA Pro Challenge expo area.
After the sprint points have been awarded, the route will head up Boulder Canyon along CO 119 towards Nederland and the day’s first KOM competition. Joining the cycling fans in this small mountain town will be the 14th Annual Nedfest, a music, arts and microbrew festival. Riders will continue climbing as they are faced with ascents exceeding 9,300 ft. on the incredible Peak to Peak Highway before a long and fast descent into the town of Lyons, where they will encounter another sprint line and the annual Rocky Mountain Folk Festival.
Classic local climbs up Lefthand Canyon and Lee Hill Rd. present the next set of challenges for the riders before they return for one final pass through downtown Boulder. In a dramatic race to the finish, the riders will head up “The Hill” to Flagstaff Mountain where a 3.5-mile vertical, dramatic race to the finish line at Sunrise Amphitheater will commence.
Stage 7: Denver Individual Time Trial – Sunday, Aug. 26
After a week of tough week of racing over mountains at altitude, the Stage 7 Individual Time Trial will be a completely different kind of race – and one that could dramatically change the results. By taking the team factor out of the race, this flat and fast course in downtown Denver will have those looking to take the overall win facing a tough individual test, making this one of the most exciting finishes possible.
Using many of the same roads as the final Denver finish circuits of 2011, the course will provide a challenge for the riders and fantastic viewing opportunities for race fans. Starting at one-minute intervals, with the final riders going off at two minutes, near the State Capitol Building in Denver’s Civic Center Park, the riders will first face a familiar out-and-back section along Speer Blvd. and Colfax Ave., with a slight detour through the entertainment district along Larimer Street.
Returning toward the start area on Colfax, the riders will turn north to 17th Ave. and a long section of straight road, eventually delivering them to City Park. A short, but technical run through the park will return the riders to 17th Ave., allowing spectators to see their favorite riders pass by again. Two quick turns will put the riders back on Broadway headed south to the finish line adjacent to Civic Center Park.
The USA Pro Challenge will be a great race this year!

USA Cycling has a new Race Director Program and Race Director License
Posted: December 6, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Bicycle Racing, Cycling, Race Director, Racing, USA Cycling Leave a commentThe goal is to improve racing in the US.
The program is designed to increase and level the knowledge and skills of face directors across the US. The program will start in 2010 and initially be the same price as the regular club license.
Beginning in 2013 courses will be offered throughout the country. Additionally, directors will be required to take continuing education courses to stay current and proficient.
Hopefully this will raise all races to a higher level rather than creating problems for the industry.
For more information about USA Cycling go here. For more information on the new programs and licenses for race directors go here.
