What the Riders had to Say:
I am not much of a cyclist, typically riding only once or twice a week and rarely more than 40 miles at a time. I was extremely worried that the challenge of the ride would overcome my abilities. But the festive nature of the ride, the incredible beauty and interesting cities of the route and the extremely friendly and helpful mood of the staff and riders brought me great encouragement and an ultimate successful finish.

We are pleased to announce two improvements to our already spectacular tour!

For the first time, the route of the 2010 VUELTA will be marked with arrowed signs to provide directional assistance to riders.

Additionally, the 2010 VUELTA will be a "No Drop" ride. A team of two cyclists will serve as "Lanterne Rouge", riding behind the entire peloton with a SAG wagon to assure its successful arrival at the end of each day. Stay tuned at our blog for more details!!
