Todays AOA/DEVO SHort Track #5 will be a tribute to the great John Elway, for no reason other than pure randomness. Well, maybe just to make the race special in a Coloradan way. So in honor of the great #7, all competitors who show up wearing Bronco orange, blue or a number 7 somewhere on their race garb, get a special prize.

Now to more biker like news on the event. Cash money will be paid out to the top 5 A men and women and top 3 B men and women. A’s get 40 for 1st, 30, 20, 15 and 10 and B’s get 20 for 1st, 10 and 5 dollars. Overall series standing will be posted here later today and will be used to determine starting order. The start line will be 7 racers wide and rows will fill in 7 wide to the back. There will not be the usual $5 holeshot prime for this race. 

DEVO greatly appreciates your participation in this summer series. It has been a super positive part of the teams week and it is clear that the kids love it. Thanks for showing up and we’ll see you tonight.

DEVO board member Travis Brown is currently in second place in the multi day stage race, Brek Epic. The race takes place in Breckenridge and takes riders on all the sweet ride around the area. Travis’s wife Mary Monroe is also competing in the duo womens category. Every day is another race. Here are the results so far.

The CT Classic returns to Durango in conjunction with the CT Jamboree on July 26th. The Classic is a race from Molas Pass to Durango and the Jamboree is a group ride, with both raising awareness and funds for multiple sclerosis. The events have been super sweet in the past and by the way the trails are looking, it is on track for another amazing year. Check out their site for the entire lowdown.

Tuesday’s Kinder ride, Tuesday’s 20 inch ride and Thursday’s 24 inch rides have been canceled due to low numbers.  Everyone is busy vacationing!  But Monday’s 1st grade ride and Wednesday’s 24-26 inch advanced ride are still on.  If you were interested in signing up for one of the rides that have been canceled and just haven’t gotten your forms in yet call Annie @ 764-5758 and we will get something worked out.  Thank you for your patience and flexibility!  Otherwise we’ll see you in the Fall….

notes: reminder that next wednesdays race will be a cash money race, meaning we will be paying out the podium in each race. more on that and up to date overall series standings at a later date, probably next week sometime, ok.

plus: We’d also like to thank Field Blevins at Animas Orthopedic Associates for sponsoring this sweet summer short track series. His support has allowed us to make the series work into the DEVO program. Give him a high five next time you see him out on the trail.
