Issue: #1 Volume 19 Late June 2009
Notes from the Prez:

  Fun fun fun in the Summer sun! Summer has officially arrived in Boulder and there has never been a better time to get out and ride!

We have launched a new Sunday Ride this week in honor of Tour de France. We will meet early at Amante's (7:00ish) to watch some of the tour, psych up, and get caffeinated to celebrate the 4th of July Weekend in correct cycling style! We leave Amantes at 7:30 am. Sure it will be tough after a fun night of watching the fireworks, but best to get an early start with the heat this time of the year.

Tuesday and Thursday night rides continue meeting at 6:00 pm and what's better than enjoying an after-ride beverage outside on a warm night!

Saturday's ride, sponsored by our friends at Bicycle Village, continues to draw large groups and is always fun. Meet at 9:15 am at Bicycle Village.

For all ride information visit the calendar at www.bouldercyclingclub.com

BLUE RIVER CENTURY

The Blue River Century was a very challenging incredibly beautiful experience that made me feel like I was riding through a postcard! As my first experience riding at higher altitude it was definitely harder to catch my breath.

A giant "hurrah" to Marie and Julia for the enormous amount of time, energy and passion they put into making this event happen!

A group of us went up the night before and enjoyed a carb-feast. It was fun to hang out and talk to like-minded cyclists in a casual environment as opposed to on or by the side of the road! The weather held out until the end and some folks got caught in nasty wet weather. You never know what to expect up in the high country.
