  • Winter Park Series - Current roster  This weekend's Winter Park Race will be busy with the Crankworx events. Be sure to review the start/finish details at: http://www.epicsingletrack.com/default.asp?page=racedes/race5des.html. The start is way up Elk Creek Road out of Fraser. TER will not have a tent setup at the base area but will use a corner of the big food tent. The course is dry and loose so pay extra attention to cornering and your descents.  Look for the TER banner, the grill, and the coolers after the race.

    Results from WP Valley Point-to-Point race on July 19: Bob Campbell-Sport 1st; Alec Betz-Beginner 1st; Coreen Wright-Expert 2nd; Ted Benning-Expert 3rd; Cory Kramer-Beginner 3rd.

   Road Training       ( email contact road racing directors Robin Waterman or Chris Porter)  
 

  • Weekend training:

    Saturdays: Many ride leaders are racing during the summer, so most Saturday rides will be "show and go" until August. This means that everyone should feel free to show up at Morrison and Rooney Rds, ready to ride by 9 am. Whoever is there can choose the route.

    Sundays: There is always a ride organized by the Team Evergreen Club. All TER racers should consider joining in on these rides, as their training and racing schedule permits. Route and start times are listed on the TE website.

  • Boulder training ride - "Sunday Morning Fruit Loops" - coming in early August. Leaving from Downtown Boulder at the corner of 18th and Pearl Street in front of Full Cycle Bikes, we will head North on HWY 36 to Lyons, do a little scenic loop in Lyons, then head East for another loop of some farmland, and head back into boulder on N 75th Street. Total Distance is about 50 miles. Information?  Contact Jimmy Walter

  • Midweek training - Due to insufficient interest at this juncture in everyone's training and racing, we will no longer lead a regular mid-week training ride. Look for notice of TT/interval training mid-week, starting February, 2009, and an occasional opportunity to train on Wednesday.

  
   Cyclocross       ( email contact cyclocross director Brian France  
 

  • The big road races for the season are finishing up. Time to start transitioning to cyclocross. Get in a short break, do some running and go mountain biking. Yes running, there are some short sections you will have to negotiate in cross and having done some running will help. Start with 15-20min easy jog once a week, add 5 min each week up to 30 min. Nothing serious, this just gets your body ready. If you have a mountain bike, go do a winter park race. They are a blast and you can see how well the other side lives. Build those skills. If you are already mountain biking, add in a run once a week.

    First cyclocross races are scheduled for the weekend of Sept 13 and 14th. There are races every weekend, both days, for the next 13 weeks! More details on targeted races will be coming once the ACA announces the BCT/BCR races.

    We will have a skills day in August to teach people some techniques.

    Contact Brian France for info or questions and ideas.

 
   Volunteer      ( email contact volunteer director Chris Brockmeier)  

  • Bear Creek Time Trial in September - Please contact Alan Boisvert aboisver@co.jefferson.co.us  if you would like to earn some volunteer credit helping out with this COBRAS sponsored race (Green Mtn Sports Series). You would work the first half of the race as a course marshall then race free the second half. The same person would need to do it all four weeks since the start list doesn't change, meaning you can't switch your number with someone else.  Volunteers  Race Flyer

  • Buffalo Creek trail work day - With the Redskin Creek Trail completed and Team Evergreen’s Epic looming in September, it’s time to put a little polish on the Buffalo Burn Trail in the Buffalo Creek Recreation Area of the Pike National Forest. Your volunteer efforts are greatly appreciated so check your calendars for Saturday, July 26. Registration.
