Here are some of the highlights. The Tour of Utah will take place form August 4th-10th. For 2014, it has been expanded to a full seven days. The ToU will be returning to Southern Utah and for the first time will feature a stage start outside of the state of Utah in Evanston Wyoming. The traditional Queen Stage to Snowbird and the Ultimate Challenge will take place on Saturday August 9th. Full stage details have not been released yet, but the stage is set to begin in Salt Lake City and follow a previously unused route prior to the traditional finish at Snowbird. In keeping with long tradition, the organizers are promising a distance of over 100 miles with over 10,000 feet of vertical. John and I have ridden several variations of the Ultimate Challenge and last year was the hardest. I think it is doubtful that the organizers can find a more difficult route than last year, but it seem like bad luck to even speculate.
