It is always sweet when the DEVO season finally gets underway. The paperwork and sign-up period ends and the fun begins. The U-14 boys ride went off with out a hitch on monday, as the team rode up lions den and tested the thaw around the FLC campus trails. Elliott Slaslow was in England and we missed him. Kricket and the U-19 ladies took off towards Horse Gulch and followed it up with some pen and paper observations. High Fives were seen in the distance. Tuesday’s jr. DEVO 20inch ride, led by coaches Evan Elliot and Annie Cheeney found several hours of fun honing their skills at the bmx track. The U-19 men took off from the rec center and rode Stacey’s in perfect riding weather. Taking our pulse at the high point led us to the conclusion that we have our work cut out for us after the long winter season. All in all, it has been a great start to the season. Today DEVO will take to the trails with 6 rides going off from different locations; 1st graders, 24inchers, AllGirlsRide, U-14 girls, U-19 Ladies and U-19 Mens. Lets keep it up. 

We will not accept any more DEVO youth as of Wednesday at noon. In order to stay professional and sane, we must stand by this cut-off. Thanks, Coach Chad

Yep, thats right, we’re Oklahoma bound. We both have landed jobs in the suburbs of OKC, OK for the summer. Annie found work at the local library, and Chad will start at a paper plant in mid june. Turns out that Durango is just too darn expensive. DEVO will continue on through the year and hopefully do just fine. Rides led by Chad and Anne will be led by the oldest rider, as of Dec 31st, on each team. Please contact chad@durangodevo if your child will be eligible to lead team practices.  April Fools!

I was recently reminded that the majority of cycling on this green earth is in the name of transportation and not racing. We are lucky to live in a place where we can do both. Keep it up.

We have been asked to move out after nine years of rental paradise. So now Annie and I need a new place to call home. Please contact us if you have a sweet scoop. We are cyclists so you know our money situation. Thanks, Coach Chad.

Good Tuesday to you all. The season starts next week my friends. Are you ready? We are getting ride lists set up at the moment, with final rosters to be here around friday. Look below to find a complete list of jr DEVO forms and schedules. The trails are still muddy and the sun is out oh so sweetly. DEVO practices will be going on as scheduled.
