They came.

They went.

They came.

They went.

They came.

They went.

They ca— OK, you get the idea.

Six times they looped around this circuit.

Speedy devils they were.  Looping and flying and avoiding disaster at every turn.

They flocked like birds. Or schools of fish. Or sea turtles riding the East Australian Current.

And Denver turned out in droves to cheer them on.

And that was my experience with the USA Pro Cycling Challenge that rode through Denver in its sixth and final stage Sunday afternoon.

The end!
