Tour of Utah-America's toughest Stage Race; is one of the highlights of my summers spent in Utah. I LOVE watching this intense racing and seeing all the pros I read about all year. We made it to 3 stages this year. The past two years the crit has been the most fun to watch, of course, most crits are spectator friendly and intense. I'm not sure why they didn't do one this year. The most interesting thing I witnessed was on Stage 6, many of the riders were drinking coca-cola and red bull, straight from the can as they warmed up!
