New Century Ride Planned for Durango

Fort Lewis College is putting on a new century ride at the end of September. There will also be shorter ride options. Looks like a great ride in one of my favorite areas of the state. Here’s info from their website.

Come and be part of the inaugural year for the Durango Fall Blaze Bicycle Tour in Durango, Colorado, presented by Fort Lewis College on September 30, 2006. Enjoy the fall colors, the cool autumn temperatures in the San Juan Mountains, the many activities of Durango and a great tour! What an excellent way to spend a weekend in Durango.

The Durango Fall Blaze will offer three different tour options that fits with everyone’s ability level: a 37 mile, 54 mile and 100 mile route. There will be 5 aid stations along the way and a party at the finish line! Several well-known cyclists will be joining in the fun and ride along side you, including Tom Danielson of the Discovery Channel Team and Kristin Danielson of the Vela Bellas Team.

Come be part of the fun and avoid the summer heat! Don’t be fooled, this is not a race! This is a fun, safe, tour ride, with the emphasis on fun and safe. All proceeds benefit the Tom Danielson Scholarship Fund at Fort Lewis College to help develop good advocates for the sport and education.
