[Rocker Ute]

It is my daughters birthday, otherwise I'd be there for sure, but the Tour of Utah will be doing a circuit race around the capital and through the avenues and back downtown. Whether you are a fan or not, it is a sight to see 100+ guys going full speed around corners at speeds over 40 mph with support vehicles doing the same thing.

It doesn't cost anything, just pick a spot around the route and I promise you'll love it.

Sit on the corner of Virginia and 100 South for the fastest speeds.

Start time is 4:40 pm and ends around 7pm.

The tour went past my house today in Centerville. Unfortunately I didn't plan ahead, and had to work today, so I am just walking the recap on TV.

I've ridden my bike up 400 north in Bountiful over a hundred times. It's gratifying to see these pros struggle up the road, although they are still probably going twice as fast as I ever did.
