News from the Tour of Utah

My son has been up since 4:30 am and is still attending pre-race meetings. He's a "media coordinator -- finishes," meaning that that he has to wrestle riders to the podium after the finish, among other things. He reports that he has accumulated more than $200 in swag and can tell me what Chris Horner smells like. He met Horner while shepherding the racers to the pre-race press conferences. He was talking to some UK pros, and all they wanted to talk about was Donald Trump, who they think is a lunatic. First stage tomorrow -- https://www.tourofutah.com/ Check out stage 6. Crap, man -- a death ride.

I wonder if they're trying to generate some business.

Those are all climbs my son does on a fairly regular basis, but not all in one day.

He was stuck in Cedar City for duties at the finishing line and didn't get to go down to Zion. http://velonews.competitor.com/2016/...ul-zion_416805 Incredible scenery -- and even better pictures at the Tour's website. https://www.tourofutah.com/experience/galleries-stage-1

The first 20K was neutralized through the park and up through the tunnel, so the peleton got to promenade through some of the coolest landscape in the Southwest.

My son reports that his swag haul is increasing by the day. He went on a climb up a local canyon after the race and got stuck in a hail storm.
