Cyclocross In and Around Durango
Fall means Cyclocross for many cyclists (not me, although I’m quite curious, if anyone is selling a used cyclocross bike in the Four Corners, around 55cm send me an email through the contact form on the About page) The Durango Herald has the full schedule for the Fort Lewis College Cyclocross Series. Racing starts November... »
Beer and Bikes – Lance Armstrong and Michelob Ultra?
I’ve heard the talk that Lance Armstrong has been in talks with Colorado Governor Bill Ritter to bring back a cycling stage race back to Colorado. I opened the paper this morning and saw Armstrong met with Ritter yesterday regarding this. Then at the very bottom of the article, almost as a footnote it... »
News Tidbits and a Return to Blogging
It’s been quiet around here lately. Unfortunately when things get busy in my professional or personal lives blogging is the first thing to give way, but expect the postings to start back up around here. A lot happened in the past couple of weeks and a lot is coming up in the next few... »

It all happens on August 1st, 2009. FLC... »
Wheelsucking Brewers and the Wheelsucker Wheat Tapping Party

Now the brewer’s are just a few days away from starting their ride from Boulder to Durango with fundraising stops along the way, and the Wheelsucker Wheat tapping party at Ska Brewing is only... »
The Tour de France Comes to Carver Brewing Co.
I’m not a huge Tour de France fan. Every year I watch a few stages but that’s about it. I can say that it’s much more fun to watch while with other bike enthusiasts, all rooting for their favorite rider. Thankfully Carver Brewing Co. will be showing the tour over breakfast and during the... »
Saul’s Creek Trails, near Bayfield, CO
I doubt Saul’s Creek is near the top of anyone’s list for good mountain biking in the Four Corners, I know it’s certainly not on the top of my list, but because of how close to my house it is, it happens to be where I mountain bike the most. The Saul’s Creek trail system... »
