Stage 4
136.6 mi. (219.8 km) Lehi to Salt Lake City Elevation Gain: 4219 ft (1,285 meters) Like last year’s Stage 2, this year’s Stage 4 kicks off at Xango headquarters in Lehi. But that’s where the similarity ends. Friday’s 136-mile race is a certified monster. Before they finally cross the finish line at the EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, racers will first venture west along the venerable Pony Express route, circle back east, then head north through ranches, farms, suburbia and, at last, the urban landscape of Salt Lake City. Look for a nearly complete peloton to arrive–in full sprint mode–in downtown Salt Lake. Just after leaving Utah County, the Tour caravan will get a Utah Highway Patrol escort on the brand new, 15-mile Mountain View Corridor. Scheduled for a late-2012 opening, the Tour will be the first and only non-construction traffic allowed on the route. Once in Salt Lake, make sure to leave time to visit the spectacular, new City Creek Center, jewel in the crown of the city’s $1 billion redevelopment project.
