2025 NoCo High School Race #4

The Colorado High School Cycling League Platte Division wrapped up the 2025 regular season in true Western style at the brand-new Royal Gorge Rumble course outside Cañon City on October 4.

2025 NoCo High School Race #3

The Colorado High School Cycling League Platte Division visited Eagle for Race #3 of the 2025 season, the Haymaker Classic. The event took place on a purpose-built course designed specifically for high school racing — flowing 6-mile loops with nearly 600 feet of climbing per lap, tacky hero dirt, and spectator-friendly sections that kept the energy high all weekend. The theme was Neon, and riders and families embraced it in full color. The SendTown Ciclismo Racing program kept the community vibe strong, with a tent-city atmosphere and a big team pizza dinner the night before racing. Regardless of what the results say, each athlete was able to showcase their strengths and had the opportunity to perform to the best of their abilities. No riding the pine in high school cycling - everyone gets to race.
