Its finally here. The second annual Hermosa Offroad Classic returns this saturday, july 26th at 9am. Meet at the lower Hermosa Trail head sometime before 9am and pay Fort Lewis College Cycling Team 35 bucks, then prepare to be stoked. The race climbs up the super popular trail and finishes at the north trail head. Upon arrival, racers will be greeted with juicy meat, sweet high alpine streams, cold beverages, sundown outdoor movie theatre and a bunch of smiling, satisfied faces. A camp-out will follow and all are invited. If camping is on your agenda, bring your gear to the race start and it will be shuttled to the finish courtesy of Dave Hagen. We’ll see you there.

Team Durango DEVO will take a break from the long travel team races and celebrate a good old fashion local race this August. Located in Dolores, Colorado, Escalante Days has been putting the locals to the test with their amazing singletrack. DEVO will be camping out for the race weekend at the Boggy Draw trail network. Prerides on friday, team/family potluck and the infamous “Shwagfest 2008” will bring back the good ol days of mountain bike racing. Check out this sentence for better information on the event.

Yep, Colorado will be the host state for the next two mountain bike national championships. That sounds like a good thing. August 1-3 will be the Colorado state championships if you want to preview what is in store for the next two years. Check out info for the race here.

Mountain Bike Specialists mechanic and local professional gravity racer, Darien Harvey made the podium last weekend in Vermont during USA Cyclings National Championships. In the Dual Slalom, she finished 3rd to two former world champions and in the downhill she raced to 4th place. Nice work Darien. She was also named to the world championships team that competed in Italy this past June.

Fort Lewis College grad and local road pro, Anthony Colby currently sits in 4th place for the National Racing Calendars season long series. Colby rides for the Colavita-Sutter Home domestic road team and has donated several team kits to our DEVO squad. We liked that….Thanks Colby.

DEVO U-19er, Alicia Rose Pastore set the Mt Evans Hill Climb record for junior women this past weekend, and won her 18 and under category by over 6 minutes. The 15 year old has been on a tear this season. Her sibling, 13 year old Gino Pastore strapped on his road bike and raced to a 4th place finish in his age group. Cully Brown of the U-14 squad took an impressive 3rd place in his age group. DEVO supporters were also in the mix; Ned Overend placed 5th overall, Carol Hvarda killed the citizens race with a time that would have had her in the mix with the category racers and Pricilla Blevins rode to a strong summit finish. Nice work DEVO.
