Big Mountain Enduro Comes to Town This Weekend

Check out what the latest buzzword “Enduro” in mountain biking is all about this weekend at the BME Durango Enduro. Basically, Enduro is a race that takes place over the course of a few days. Each day has multiple timed stages, usually downhill, and a few non timed stages that the riders have to ride from the finish of one to the start of the next. There are many of these events popping up all over the world and this is Durango’s second year in the BME series. This year they have added a day 2 of racing that will take place in the Gulch, with Full Raiders Ridge and Crites/Carbon Junction, being the timed stages. Buckley Park is the headquarters for the weekends festivities, so swing down from 3-7 sat or sunday to catch the action.

Time to Register for FLC’s Fall Blaze

Hosted by Fort Lewis College, the Durango Fall Blaze offers three different tour options, including a 37-mile, 60-mile, and 100-mile ride.  The tour starts when the clocktower rings 8am and a police escort leads the riders out from the center of campus. There are six food/aid stations along the way, support vehicles on the course, and a party at the finish line back in the center of campus! The ridership is limited to ensure a quality event. The century course is of medium difficulty when compared to centuries around the country, and the 37-mile and the 60-mile are easier.

All proceeds benefit the Cycling Scholarship Fund at Fort Lewis College. The scholarship is dedicated to rising young cyclists. Each scholarship recipient must possess a love for the sport, maintain a 2.7 or higher grade point average, and must be an active community member. Both men and women are eligible, of course.

Registration fees cover:

  • A fully supported tour with sag support vehicles and five food/aid stations
  • The fabulous Fall Blaze Packet-Pickup Party at the Fort Lewis College Union Plaza
  • The Blaze Lunch and Celebration on campus, presented by Morehart Murphy Auto Center
  • A commemorative t-shirt and pinIMG_0190

An Invitation from Jamis’s Rotem Ishay

I’d like to invite you all for an event I’m putting together this Friday at the Rotary Park 3:30-8:30. As part as my job at Durango Performance Center, I’m producing the second annual Physiology in the Park community event – which is a non profit event aimed to educate kids about health, wellness and exercise physiology through involved learning and live demonstration of physiologic testing.
The event has a couple of activities that are of interest to you – screening of the movie Breaking Away (classic movie that relates to cycling), gift certificates raffle (full day lift tickets to DMR and more…) and an interview with our guest speaker Todd Wells! oh and one more thing, you will probably see one of our FLC cyclists going “all-out” on a VO2max test live!
You can check details of the event at the Durango Performance Center Facebook page, please like us as well!
In addition, I can use 2-3 volunteers from noon to help with setup. Really not that much to do, but very much appreciated!
Send it,
