The 411
The Oval is a cold-hard Colorado classic and the best way to spend a Saturday morning.  Plus it will make you pretty fit too.

The Start
Bring your A-game to the Southwest corner of the CSU Oval right in front of the Statistics Building. The turnout is solid from early December until the racing really gets going in April.  Start map

The Route
When this ride reaches its maximum distance of 80 miles it has it all. From flat crosswind sections, rollers, power climbs to the long grinds.  The city limit sign east of Berthoud has become a hotly contested mid-ride sprint.  Route Map

The Finish
The 45mph sign at the bottom of the last curve after Horsetooth Reservoir.   Finish map

Gib’s NY Bagels

As I mentioned last week, I’m putting in a big push to add new advertisers to YGR during the month of September, and I’m stoked to welcome another true Fort Collins staple to the family: Gib's NY Bagels. Gib’s isn’t just the spot for a legit New York style bagel, they’ve been fueling the Northern Colorado community for over three decades. I’ve been using Gib’s as my unofficial remote office for years, so it’s pretty rad to see their banner flying on the site. They’ve always been huge supporters…
