Sunny blue skies and the Rocky Mountains make a glorious backdrop for this ride to Ashcroft.

Clip In with Christian
RECENTLY WE WERE invited to attend a cycling event with a difference. Firstly it was convened in Aspen Colorado. An intimate group of just 24 riders gathered at the charming Little Nell hotel in the heart of Aspen had the opportunity to ride with Christian Vande Velde, George Hincapie and Craig Lewis around the iconic ski resort village. The Clip in with Christian event was timed to coincide with the Stage 3 finish and Stage 4 start of the USA Pro Challenge, the Pro Continental tier race renowned for its tough climbing at high altitude through the Rocky Mountains.
