September Thoughts
Hi Everybody,
I had the pleasure to both ride in and participate
in the Buffalo Classic Bike Ride last Sunday . It was a beautiful day
for riding, one of those perfect Colorado days. Close to 2500 cyclists
participated and rode in various rides from the 100 mile Century to the
14 mile Little Buff ride for the kids. It was a very well organized
event with great support and a good selection of food and drink at the aid stations. I made the 70 mile course up to Carter Lake (a personal record for me!) and lots of our members participated. Click here for photos.
I especially want to thank our volunteers Carolyn Larson and Karin
Wilson for both setting up our promo booth and tent and working it so
that I could actually ride ! I think they both had a great time and
sold a bunch of bells donated by Barry Schacht to help us raise money
for the club, but most importantly promoted the club and gathered a lot
of emails from cyclists showing and interest in the club. It was a real
cycling carnival atmosphere with free massages, food, beer (thanks to
our cycling buddy Jeff Brown of Boulder Beer!). I think everyone had a
great time and they raise a lot of money for scholarships for CU
students. We want to thank the good folks at the CU Buff Classic for
letting us set up and promote the club at the event. I look forward to
riding/participating in it next year and I hope to complete the 100
mile Century ride next year!
I'd like to welcome all the cyclists that signed up for our newsletter
at the Buff Classic. We hope to see you on a ride or at one of our
upcoming events in the future.
Please note that we are starting earlier this week because of the shorten riding time due to lack of daylight.
All rides will meet at 5:15 and leave no later the 5:30 except the Sat
ride at Bicycle Village which will continue to meet at 9:15 am on Sat
and leave at 9:30 am. Unless the weather is bad then the outdoor ride
is cancelled and a free Spinning class will be offered at the Y at
10:30 am.
