DOOM is a former world champion in the event and was honored by being selected into the 24 hour racing Hall of Fame during the weekends festivities. He was recognized for pioneering the singlespeed category and being the competitor with the biggest smile throughout the gruelling event.

Another athlete Jeff Toohey of Austrailia, who spent the past month staying and training with DEVO’s Pastore family, placed 4th overall in the race, with Austrailians taking the top 4 spots. Dang those Aussi’s can race!

For the second year in a row, the Hermosa Offroad Classic was a tasty-fast mudbath for the competitors who took to the challenge. Travis Brown, Trevor Downing, and Dylan Stucki took the top spots in the Pro Men and Shannon Gibson, Lyra Parker and Teal Stetson-Lee for the women. The racers are still up at the north trail-head as I type having a classic post race campout. It was seriously the best race of the year. Don’t miss it ever again. Full results to be out sometime soon.

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.

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.
