PRT is Painfully Close to Completion
YGR has been updating you on several big paved path projects coming online in the next year, the Siphon Overpass, the Harmony Crossing, and our final update is on arguably the most exciting one, the Poudre River Trail connection between Timnath and Windsor.
Thanks in part to an unseasonably warm fall, Connell Resources crews have made major progress. Less than 100 yards of pavement the bridge over the Greeley Number 2 Canal and some fencing are all that remain.

Ride Review: Greg Scanlan’s 2022 S-Works Crux
Greg Scanlan raced this 2022 Specialized S-Works Crux to a win the men's 50-54 race during the first-ever USA Cycling Gravel National Championships in Gering, Neb, last September. If everything goes according to plan, he will race the same bike in the same town and get the same result on Sunday. The 58cm Crux is dripping with Dura-Ace and weighs in at 17.50 lbs. The only difference from last year is a shift from 38mm to 45mm tires.
Good luck to Greg and everyone racing on Sunday.

Des says, “These are probably one of my new favorite pieces of sports tech that I’ve tried in quite some time.” You can watch his full review embedded below.
