Silver City is set to host some of the world’s top cyclists for the Tour of the Gila, a five-day bicycle race that kicks off on April 24. Each day will feature one stage, with the UCI men and women cyclists participating in two stages of road racing.
On stage three, athletes will compete in an individual time trial, while stage four will see them race around town. The final stage, stage five, will be the Gila Monster Road Race.
Both men’s and women’s fields will include professional cyclists who have competed in major races such as the Tour de France and Vuelta a España, as well as those who have earned Olympic berths. In addition to the pros, there will be opportunities for amateur and citizen racers to participate in events throughout the five days.
