Pro Cycling Challenge

Yesterday was the Pro Cycling Challenge through Denver. The cyclists were going to be riding right by our house, so we had some friends and family over and found a great spot in the park where we could watch them come around a sharp corner. They did a loop down Speer six times, so we got to see them and experience their speed multiple times.It was so exciting to watch, especially with the huge crowds! It was hard to believe they could go so fast on flat ground. These guys are pretty amazing and it was such a cool experience to see them.

Mark slept through the entire thing and Belle laughed super hard when they first came around. Then, she didn't care too much and preferred to run in the sprinklers that were spraying down in the grass :)

Just before it started...
The pictures don't do justice for how close they were and how fast they came speeding by....
Afterward we relaxed in the park while the crowds left, then went back to the house for some grillin'.

We watched them go by my parents' house - it was fun! They do go so fast!
