Update 2/23/09: I’ve posted my report of the Peak Region Cyclist Bicycle Show
Update 2/20/09: I’ve posted a few other cycling things going on in Colorado Springs this weekend plus some ride suggestions if you’re coming from out of town for the show.
This Saturday, February 21st, from 10 AM to 3 PM is the 1st Annual Peak Region Cyclist Bicycle Show at the Norris-Penrose Center. It looks like it will be a quality event with at least most of the local bike shops being there plus several other good exhibitors. I plan on heading over there. Part of the $5 admission fee benefits the Pikes Peak Area Bikeways Coalition.
Peak Region Cyclist is a new local cycling magazine that published their first edition last June. Every issue has had very good articles. While many print publications are struggling, Peak Region Cyclist seems to be making it work. The print version can be found many places around town and you can also read it online.
Saturday evening they’re bringing American Flyers to Kimball’s Twin Peak Theater. I think it would be really sweet to see American Flyers on the big screen. It’s showing at 10 PM. I don’t see it listed on their site but everyone is invited.
Other weekly local cycling happenings are the pub crawl Thurday evenings and Cycling Sundays at McCabe’s. Cycling Sundays are from 1-4 PM. This week the Tour of California will be on.
Highlights of the Peak Region Cyclist Bicycle Show are
- Local Bicycle Shops from Colorado Springs, Monument, Woodland Park, and Castle Rock
- Bicycle Advocacy Groups
- Trail Building Groups from the region
- Cycling related Non-Profits
- Colorado Springs Bicycle Club
- USA Cycling
- CTS Sand Creek Series Mountain Bike Races
- Carmichael Training Systems (The force behind Lance Armstrong!)
- ROLL Bike Art! (Portion of Proceeds benefit Medicine Wheel)
- Bicycle Companies
- Vintage Bicycles
