For those who don't know, here's a very basic synopsis of what makes this a very rare, special occasion. The UCI Road World Championships attracts 1,000 of the world’s best cyclists who take this opportunity to compete for their countries, just as they do during an Olympic Games. The United States will serve as the host country for the first time since 1986, when Colorado Springs, Co., staged the event. This event presents a tremendous tourism and economic development opportunity for our region.
