Congratulations to Adventure Advocates member Brent Bookwalter for finishing 3rd in the Prologue and 22nd overall in the first annual USA Pro Cycling Challenge...

Brent Bookwalter's third-place finish led four BMC Racing Team riders in the top 12 of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge prologue Monday in Colorado. 

The inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge was the most demanding bike race ever held on American soil, with racers experiencing breathless altitudes, day after day. The race brought the high speeds, danger and adrenaline of professional cycling to elevations more than two miles high in some of the most picturesque terrain in the world—the Colorado Rocky Mountains. With altitudes and downhill peaks double what riders usually endure, the Colorado Rocky Mountains presented a course that was as much a part of the race as the riders themselves.
