Thanks to all volunteers and riders! A special thanks to the State, County, and City road maintenance crews who managed to sweep most of the course last week.
This tour is a loop road ride from Durango Colorado to Farmington New Mexico and back. The early start and clockwise course (all right turns) results in minimal issues with traffic. The ride is a mix of small country roads and county highways. Most hills are short or gradual and many riders boast their personal best times in this century. A digital event clock will be running and participants are welcome to record their times in the official results ledger which will be posted on the website. While not a race, several riders finish in under 4 hours. There will be 5 fully supplied food and water stops along the course (at 25 miles, 50 miles, 64 miles, 80 miles, and at the start/finish) and a sag. This event is fully permitted and insured in Colorado and New Mexico. Early Bird registration is $25. Fees go toward insurance, food and water stations, portable toilets, and other cost recovery. Any excess will benefit Velo de Animas Bicycle Club, a not-for-profit organization. The number of riders has increased significantly every year and we expect some 400 riders in 2010. All riders will recieve a free Specialized 24oz. event water bottle with a map of the course printed on the side. For 2010 Start/Finish is at Gateway Park, Durango (Traditional Start) We will provide an excellent food and water station at the Start/Finish in Santa Rita (Gateway) Park which includes Subway sandwiches. Again, we will provide coffee and water for riders at the Start. The large digital clock will be running again, and we will assist riders to record their times in the Official Ledger (results will be posted on the website). There are some 30 miles of brand new pavement along the course! If you have any questions, please EMAIL. For information about lodging and tourism in lovely Durango, please see the tourism page. |
