Tour of the Gila – One of the most difficult races in North America due to it’s mountainous terrain and elevation, Tour of the Gila is a great “A” race for many cyclists, preparing them for the racing season. It is one of only a handful of UCI-sanctioned races in the United States, appealing to both amateur and master racers. The Tour of the Gila is a five-day stage race with courses not unlike those on the World Tour. This website includes information on race as well as lots of info on other local attractions and activities.
