Peak Region Cyclist Bike Show Tomorrow

March 5th, 2010
Peak Region Cyclist Bike Show

The Peak Region Cyclist Bike Show is tomorrow here in Colorado Springs. I wrote more about the bike show a few weeks ago but Here’s the summary.

The show is open from 10 AM – 3 PM at the Norris-Penrose Event Center (1045 W. Rio Grande St.). Cost to get in is $5 and the food’s a reasonable price for a show. The weekend gets kicked off tonight with a party at Carmichael Training Systems and then there’s a post show party tomorrow at SRM.

I’m meeting a few people at Phantom Canyon downtown between the show and the SRM party. Please come join us at 3:30. If you’re planning on meeting me there, leave a comment or shoot me an email so I know to look for you. I’m not sure where we’ll be but if you can’t find us, give me a call on my cell at 719-330-4102.

Colorado Governor Hospitalized From Bike Accident

March 2nd, 2010

Bill Ritter, Colorado’s governor, is a cyclist and has supported cycling in the state. The Denver Post reports that he crashed this morning on a bike ride. He has broken 5 or 6 ribs and is expected to stay in the hospital overnight but will be Ok.

I haven’t found many details but it seems he touched wheels with one of the other bikes in the group. Most likely that would mean he touched the wheel in front of him. Even for experienced cyclists, it’s tough not to crash in that case. The one in front isn’t nearly as likely to crash.

Remember to look well up the road to anticipate changes in speed rather than looking directly at the rider in front of you to minimize this type of accident. Also always wear your helmet when you’re out riding. Fortunately Governor Ritter did have is helmet on since it’s reported that he hit his head.

Be safe out there!

100 Mile Mountain Bike Races 2010

March 1st, 2010
Leadville 100 Start


Update: 100 Mile Mountain Bike Races for 2011

Endurance mountain biking racing has become very popular the last several years. 100 mile races are particularly popular. A 100 mile mountain bike race is also known as a dirty hundy. The terrain for the races vary a lot and also the amount of support varies from well stocked aid stations to races that are self-supported.

The Leadville 100 is the oldest and most popular and has had an entry lottery for several years. Other 100 milers have gotten popular and the 2010 Lumbejack 100 filled up in 12 hours and 16 minutes.

Although Lance Armstrong probably won’t be at them, there are plenty of other quality 100 mountain bike races besides the Leadville 100. The National Ultra Endurance Race Series (NUE) is a national series of 8 100 mile mountain bike races. In addition to 100 milers, there are plenty of 12 hour, 24 hour and longer mountain bike races.

Here are the 2010 100 mile mountain bike races I know about. Let me know in the comments about ones I’ve missed and I’ll add them to the list.
