TOOELE, Utah – The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah has been bringing bicycle racers from across the world to Utah for 10 years, and now the event is featuring a cycling event for elite and professional women.

The Tour of Utah is on day three of seven, and the Tour of Utah: Women’s Edition was held at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele County Wednesday.
