Its true. Durango Devo has a spin class and it is every season, at this very moment and just when we need it most. Devo’s preseason spin class will run the next 8 wednesday nights at Core Value Fitness Center in Durango, near Bread Bakery, from 4:15-5:15pm. The class focuses on the art of pedaling, with a little cycling history thrown in for good measure. The spin will be led by Coach Chad and  is open to all U14,19, Sweet Elite male and female cyclists. Cost is $10. Check here for Core Value’s schedule.

Your Durango Devo junior development cycling program has received some sweet recognition by USA Cycling this month in earning a place on the list of 2011 Centers of Excellence. Read the article on the USA Cycling website here.

2012 Tentative CO Calendar-1please remember that this is not set in stone.

Andy Bohlmann of Sand Creek Sports Inc. in Colorado Springs has been rad these past 2 years at getting out a Colorado and friends racing calendar each winter. Not too long ago, we all rode around until February/March without knowing what the seasons schedule held. Now, we have Andy, who through reaching out to promoters across the state, has put together this collaborative list that covers the big, the small and even the ugly events that surround us in competitive cycling paradise. Thanks again Andy and keep up the good work. Durango Devo appreciates the scheduling help!
