The Tour of Utah, undoubtedly Utah’s finest cycling race and perhaps the hardest stage race in the United States, recently announced the dates for this years race.  Taking place from August 18-23, 2009 the race is based out of Salt Lake City but the stages aren’t limited to Salt Lake.

With the passing of it’s name sake, Larry H. Miller, the Tour of Utah will surely have Larry in mind as they host some of North Americas top cyclists this coming August.

The race is quite young, having started in 2004 as a local stage race. It has since grown to a 5 stage race with a purse last year at over $75,000.

When you’ve got bikes and other equipment, not to mention the need for a comfortable place to rest and relax after each days’ stage, a hotel just won’t cut it. Renting a home or a condo in Salt Lake for the week is the only way to go.

Getting a condo with a garage (like the Oaks at Wasatch #1 near the mouth of Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood Canyons) could mean the difference between prepping your bike in a hotel parking lot or inside.

Utah Vacation Homes is looking forward to the 2009 Tour of Utah cycling race. Here’s something to get you ready.
