DENVER (AP) — The USA Pro Cycling Challenge will return to Colorado next year.
Organizers are seeking host cities for the race, and Boulder has specifically been invited to submit a proposal, which is due by Oct. 31.
Boulder was not one of the 11 host cities for the inaugural race that Levi Leipheimer won last month. All 11 cities have expressed an interest in being included in next year’s race, as well.
Race CEO Shawn Hunter said “while our loyalty is with the cities who stepped up as early supporters, the field is wide open for which communities might be a host city in 2012.”
Next year’s race is Aug. 20-26.
