Thats right, Durango DEVO has just successfully been accepted as a 501 c3 non profit organization. Our super all star during the process has been Yo Horn, who dialed and styled out numerous pages of hard to dissect packet action. Although we have not received an official notice on the acceptance, we have a former athlete who’s cousin works for a lady who swore to him that she overheard our name being accepted outside a meeting in Denver. That’s gotta’ be good as gold.  

Hey there Moms and Dads. Support your elementary school aged cyclists by wearing matching outfits this summer. You can do this by purchasing a Jr. DEVO Supporter jersey at the March 18 sign up meeting. They cost 75.00 and where made just for you.

Final Score Giants17 Patriots14. Football is cool at times. This sunday was one of those times. 

Snow biking is tough right now. Skies are falling with snow. The coaches at Durango DEVO advise the practice of other sports at this time. 

Yo everyone, just bloggin from down south.  Hot and sunny down here in Patagonia, so lots of time to ride.  I rode up the ski hill and took a trail down the other day…like 3500′ down!  Craziness.  You know all those times Chad and I told you not to ride your bike straight down a hillside as it causes erosion and makes a mess of the trails?  Well, that’s pretty much all I do down here as that is where their trails go; straight down!   No rocks, no logs, no bumps, just 3500′ of straight down lose dirt (polvo).  Pretty sweet until you have to brake.  And, as I’m sure you all know, I descend with my mouth open so you can only imagine how much dirt I eat after riding.  Ok, so now I’m being your mom…ready?  You are sooooooo lucky to live where you do and ride where you do.  I have ridden all over the USA, in Spain, Mexico, Ecuador, France, Belize, and Argentina and I’m telling you, Durango has the best trail riding in the WORLD.  That’s right.  So go to the CO Trail meetings and the Hermosa Creek meeting ’cause what we have in Durango is special and unlike anywhere else. 

Chad will be happy to know that I have, due to the fact that I cannot get the kids down here to do anything but soccer, begun  to teach the neighborhood kids bike polo with a pine stick and a soccer ball.   See picture: bike polo in South America  Excuse the no helmets, there is only so much I can do.

I miss everyone!  Enjoy the snow!

4:15 at the San Juan Public Lands Center, Trails 2000 will host a discussion for the public on the proposed Columbine Wilderness. This is a good chance to learn the positives and negatives of having a wilderness area take over a recreational natural area. The meetings location is in the Durango Tech Center, 15 Burnett Dr. This affects all user groups, not just cyclists.

2008 Team application packets are now available at Durango Cyclery for boys&girls U-14 &19 teams. Soon this kind of packet stuff will be available by clicking something, and printing or just looking and leaving.
