YGR Live, Northern Colorado’s live bike talk show, fired up the mics for a third monthly installment Thursday night to a packed crowd at New Belgium Brewing Co.

After recapping local news, Dan Porter and I were joined on stage by new FC Bikes Manager Tessa Greegor, who spoke a bit on her background and history as a cyclist and planner. She shared a detailed presentation on her plans to help coordinate our community’s effort to win the “race” toward becoming the first Diamond-certified bike-friendly community.

Greegor was hesitant to offer a timeline, and pointed out that the certification is less of a goal than it is a benchmark, confirming we are moving Fort Collins in the right direction by offering incentives to residents for riding more.

The USA Pro Challenge stage coming to Northern Colorado on Aug. 24 was discussed. We recapped the structure of the local organizing team, which is built around an inter-governmental agreement entered into by the towns and cities of Loveland, Windsor, Estes Park and Fort Collins, as well as Larimer County.

This IGA contracted with the USAPC to provide operational, technical, volunteer and marketing partnerships for the stage. IGA/LOC co-chair Bob Herrfeldt revealed that the group has raised roughly 90 percent of the projected budget for the stage through support from a number of local corporations, as well as in-kind and cash support from the city governments.

Final Taft Hill Time Trial Rescheduled

Details

Published on Thursday, 13 June 2013 10:43

The final Taft Hill Time Trail and the second race in the Hayseed Race Series has been rescheduled for Thursday June 20th.  The race was originally scheduled for Tuesday the 11th but had to be postponed due to air quality concerns. 

Riders that have already registered and paid for their race will only need to sign up again for the race on the 20th.  Do not use the PayPal portion of the process, just fill out the registration form.

If you registered and paid for the race on the 11th and can't attend the race on the 20th, I will refund your entry.  Please email me. 

Sorry for having to postpone the race but the conditions on Tuesday were pretty poor.
