Howdy Folks!!
Hope 2013 is treating you well thus far! While it may be cold now, warmer temperatures will be here before we know it. We all know that it is tough to stay motivated this time of year, but parlay your New Year’s Resolution into one of these cool riding events:
1. Breckenridge 100/68/32
These mountain bike races aren’t for the faint of heart, but offer huge rewards and spectacular views of the continental divide for anyone willing to take the plunge. The 32 mile race is hard, the 68 is harder, and the 100 is insane. Start training soon so you can make the most of the experience.

3. The Koppenberg
If you are looking for a smaller short range goal that still offers a challenge check out the ultimate Colorado spring classic. The Koppenberg is is a road race on a 5.5 mile circuit race just north of Boulder, CO. This may sound straight forward, but the circuit is almost all dirt roads including a short but sweet 17% grade dirt road climb.
