This week, over 40 Durango local cyclocrossers will be heading west to take on the nations top riders at the 2009 US National Championships of Cyclocross event in Bend, Oregon. Age group racing begins on thursday and runs through saturday. The collegiate racers compete on sunday as do the men’s and women’s elite.  Singlespeed shreders race friday morning and the Under 23 categories are on saturday. The weather is looking super chilly and has the chance of rain and snow. Sounds like cross.

This past weekend saw the end of the FLC Cross Series with the Muscle Cross, at Buckley Colusseum on saturday and the FLC Cross Finals up on the FLC campus. Saturday it was Teal Stetson-Lee taking the win over Carmen McNelis and Ben Sonntag for the men.

The 39th edition once again features the McDonalds Citizens 50 mile tour, The Durango Coca Cola Road Race, Quarter Horse To Purgatory, Morehart Murphy Subaru Criterium, Alpine Bank Time Trial, Omnium, Sprite Kids race, Durango Devo Bike Swap, thats us!,  and the Concert on Main.

The first day of cross nationals in Bend, Oregon are one week away. Here’s more info.

This Saturday, Dec. 5, with much preliminary hoopla, is the 4th annual Russell the MuscleCross at Buckley Park. Racing action begins at 10am with the Singlespeeders followed by the kids race at 11am. The competitive Men’s A and 40+ goes off at 11:30 with the Men’s B and Open Women classes rolling at 12:30pm. Russ the Musc is the 5th race in the FLC Cyclocross Series presented by Animas Orthopedics, Coca-Cola and Rivergate Sports Medicine, and has many unique course features for the racers to navigate – everyone is welcome. The series concludes Sunday up at the FLC Stadium with the Series Finals – racing begins at 10am. For more info check out www.durangocyclery.com. I hear entry is $5!

The singlespeed category is open to mountain bikes as well as cross rigs. The kids race is for child cyclists of all ages. Course helpers will help at all the tricky kid sections, so please come out to Buckley Colusseum (Park) this saturday and enjoy the second to last Durango cycling race of the year.

Hey everyone, this is River, I am on the U14 team. Now that it is nearing Christmas time, tis’ the season to give back, and my Mom and I were thinking to do just that. We are making t-shirts and hoodies to sell to anyone and everyone who wants one, and when you buy it you know that 50% of the profits are going directly to Durango DEVO. You can have one of the 2 designs that we made, you can see then in the attachments to this message. And we have lots of different colors and sizes in hoodies and tees. Here is a sample of the type of hoodie (the tee shirts look like any other tee shirt):

The tees will be $8 and the hoodies will be $18.

Please order soon as we need to know how many we need to make, as we are printing as orders come in. But none of this can happen without your support, so please help out and give back this holiday season by supporting Durango DEVO, and catching up on your christmas shopping. As Chad would say, “This is gonna be sweet!”

Our sister in the traveling spandex, Krista Park has given Devo coaches Annie and Chad a Raxter Bike Rack for their van to travel to and fro Devo action in 2010. The current rack on Coach Chad’s van was purchased by his parents, for the family van, in 1989, and has been used ever since. It looked it too, so when traveling pro mountain biker, Krista swung through for a local short track race, it was evident they needed to upgrade.

The rack Devo recieved was the folding 1.25″ hitch, 3 Bike Rack. It holds 3 bikes and folds up out of the way when not in use. It has not seen a trip yet, so we will be sure to report how it works as soon as we have to drive somewhere to ride. Thanks to Raxter for the generous gift.
