The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) hosting the USA Pro Cycling Challenge has invited DEVO to participate in the Opening Ceremonies on Monday, August 20th. The ceremonies are meant to celebrate the Olympic, National and World Champions who call Durango home. DEVO athletes will participate to show the next generation of cyclists. We are hoping for 200 athletes 12 and under to participate with the U19, U14, Flyers and Explorer riders as the sweep riders. Olympic cyclists will lead out the parade and other local Olympians in a variety of sports will be participating in this event. This is not an open parade, due to road closures and a restrictions and to aid in the planning of such a huge event in Durango, this portion of the Pro Cycling Challenge event is an invitation only event.
The race itself will take place on Monday, August 20th. The entire weekend is full of events from a Grand Open House downtown on Main, the Start Village at Fort Lewis College on Saturday and Sunday, the mountain bike and trail run race at Twin Buttes (on August 18th) hosted by Trails 2000 and the Race Day party at Buckley on August 20th. All information can be found at durango2012.com.
Please help us out by volunteering for the Race Day festival by going to durango2012.com and click on Volunteer.
Thank you so much.
