2010 Tour of Utah Stage 2

A few photos from Thursday’s second stage of the Tour of Utah, from Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, finishing on the summit of Mt.

First Vancouver, now the Tour of Utah?

I’m not sure when I started following the stereotypical Utah trait of claiming anyone with even the remotest connection with the state as one of our own. Hell, I’m not even sure when I started thinking of myself as a Utahn (in addition to being from both a Northern Californian and a Tennesseean).

Regardless, it’s [...]
