Horse Gulch Dedication This Friday!
Trails 2000 planned, built and helped secure trails in Horse Gulch since its inception and is very excited to work with the City of Durango on a dedication ceremony taking place this Friday, November 5th. The City has purchased over 1100 acres in Horse Gulch and these properties were all preserved with the assistance of major grant funding from Great Outdoors Colorado.

The City would like to recognize its partnership with GOCO and others with a brief dedication ceremony this Friday November 5th between 12:15 PM and 12:45 PM in the Horse Gulch Meadow. Lise Aangeenbrug, Executive Director of GOCO will be in attendance as will other partners, and members of the City Council and Advisory Boards.

The weather forecast is calling for sunny and mid 60s Friday so please come out and join us in marking this important community milestone. We will meet at the Horse Gulch trailhead at noon (located on 3rd Street just north of Building Specialties) and hike or bike to the dedication ceremony in the meadow, approximately 1/2 mile up the trail.

Well we’ve gone and done it. Devo has created a U25 team to race regionally and nationally in 2011, becoming the next level in the developmental ladder. The Sweet Elite team will be coached by Joey Thompson and Directed by Chris Wherry. Check out the press release on Velonews.com here.

This may be the final opportunity to work with Trails 2000 this season. If your down, head to the XRock rock climbing area off of north main and help work the trail leading to the climbing spot. Be sure to bring sturdy shoes and show up from 830-12. Have fun!

“Don’t forget to spread the word! Its getting big, Looking like it WILL be the largest comp of the year in the US, Still only 20-25 trials rider, and maybe 10-15 Mt bike class, but that’s a great step for trials! There’s guys coming from TX, AZ, NM, CO, WA, IN, CA.  Anyone under 18 needs a parent to sign a waiver.  Mt Bike class is $10  includes a steamworks pint glass, a free beer or soda at the awards ceremony, lunch at the event site compliments of steamworks brewing, there’s also a free raffle for a Rockshox Reba and other prizes at the awards ceremony at Steamworks at 5:00. Spectators can get a free raffle ticket.  We obviously encourage riding bikes to the event since parking is limited.  Free lunch is limited to 50 riders!  www.trialsfromthecrypt.comThere will be at least 4 or 5 former or current worlds team members attending.  Good Times! Thanks Devo!”  Ryder-event organizer
