[5] It featured a route for professional cyclists that included many Downtown streets, as well as separate races for younger cyclists. In June 1998, the USA Cycling Elite National Championship time trials and criterium were held in conjunction with the Tour de Loveland. [6] [7] [8] On January 24, 2005, Loveland City Council voted to cancel the Tour, due to declining attendance and a lack of sponsors. [9]
