10 Tracks

Tiffany Ankrum, you guys! Tiffany has been a constant member of the Fort Collins cycling scene for as long as I can remember. She rides for the Follies, Team BOB and is active with Send Town. A  Billings Montana native she's been in Fort Collins for 24 years. The PVH ER Registered Nurse (thanks for the hustle!) has dabbled in all things cycling but has settled into the MTB lifestyle (lots of times it's a SS MTB). She listens to her 10 tracks while riding and running (only one bud of course). 

We're dropping some more beets this week on 10 Tracks, Sugar Beets. Originally from Denver, Valerie Collins who rides for the Sugar Beets has been in Fort Collins for 15 years. She's the friendly voice on the other end of the phone when you call Independent Plumbing Solutions. Another equal opportunity cyclist, Valerie rides all the bikes but prefers MTB. 

Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to get to know Dan Burnett, our 10 Tracks DJ of the week. Dan is originally from Whippany NJ (one of my favorite city names). He's lived in Fort Collins for 22 years (hey, same as me!). He's a financial/divorce planner with Long Green Planning Group, and more importantly, at least for us, he's one of the founding board members of the Send Town Bike Club (the club behind New Belgium Short Track and Cyclocross). 

Even though YGR focuses mostly on Northern Colorado Cycling, we do make exceptions for our neighbors to the North in Laramie and Cheyenne. They reluctantly let us Coloradoans use their trails, so it's the least we can do. This week's DJ is Heidi Gurov an equal opportunity cyclist (rides all the bikes) from Cheyenne. Heidi has been busy fighting COVID19 as a Nurse Consultant with the Wyoming Department of Health, Immunization Unit (thanks for that, Heidi). She races mtb, cross, gravel and road for Square1 Cycling.

The infamous Tom Carter is our DJ this week on 10 Tracks. Originally from Columbus, OH, Carter has been active in the Northern Colorado cycling scene for some 30 years. He's been a grassroots race promotor, perpetual volunteer, and racer. There are grainy photos on Facebook that prove he did indeed ride BMX, MTB's, 'cross, and even bikepacked back in the day. There are more recent photos of him mountain biking and gravel riding. Rumors suggest he's making a return to racing in 2021.

 A few weeks back we had the multifaceted Corbin Brady in the YGR studio spinning his 10 Tracks, this week we have his associate at the Downtimer magazine, Michael Bussmann, gracing us with his playlist. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Bussman has been in Fort Collins for 13 years. In addition to his work starting the Downtimer, he's a self-employed writer and artist and like all parents right now, he's focusing a lot of energy into making sure his kids come out of the pandemic mostly ok.
