Press Release Breckenridge 100 Mountain Bike Race – Saturday July 16, 2011

Check out some Course Preview of Breck 100

“You’ve done the rest, now take the test!”
Now in its 7th year, the Breckenridge 100 Mountain Bike Race is regarded as the hardest race in the National Ultra 100 Series. Featuring Solo and Three Person Team Competitions, this incredible race climbs 13,719 feet and reminds participants of what backcountry mountain biking is all about.

The renowned course architect, Mike Zobbe, has linked together an amazing network of backcountry trails, roads, double track and bike paths that takes the competitors far beyond the typical boundaries of endurance racing. From start to finish, they are both pampered and pushed to their limit at the same time. They cross the Continental Divide three times, climb 12,000 foot passes and forge high mountain streams while returning to the support and encouragement of staff, friends and teammates who are waiting for them in historic downtown Breckenridge.

Veteran Endurance Racer and former 3 time Montezuma’s Revenge Champion Thane Wright founded the race in 2004. Another Montezuma’s Revenge Champion and local racer Josh Tostado has won the race every year since its inception, defending his title against all comers including Tinker Juarez, Travis Brown, and current NUE leader Jeff Schalk.
The Breckenridge 100 racecourse, now part of the new Rocky Mountain Endurance Series presented by Warriors Cycling, is comprised of 3 unique cloverleaf style loops, which allow for competitors to lap through Carter Park in downtown Breckenridge after each loop. It also allows racers to compete in two shorter distance events utilizing parts of the same pristine course, the B-68, and the B-32. This allows mere mortals the chance to compete on spectacular backcountry terrain and get a taste of what National caliber endurance racing is all about.

Living in the cycling hot bed of Colorado new cycling related businesses are popping up all the time. A few weeks ago we highlighted GoVelo Sports and today we are talking with Brady Kappius and his business Broken Carbon.

[303Cycling] Tell us a little about Brady Kappius (i.e. education, experience, cycling etc)
[Brady] I started racing bikes at the age of four with the encouragement of my Dad who was racing at the time (and still is). Continuing in his footsteps, I choose to get an engineering degree from the Colorado School of Mines in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. I then continued my education at the University of Colorado at Boulder with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I currently race mountain bikes and cyclocross professionally for Clif Bar. I've always enjoyed tinkering with stuff and my first carbon experience was about 5 or 6 years ago making carbon fiber bottle cages. Since then, I've learned a lot more about carbon through my own experience as well as through my formal education. I am happy to provide a service that I think is useful to many people. 

[303Cycling] Give us some background on Broken Carbon (i.e. services, cost, experience etc)?
[Brady] Broken Carbon can repair a wide range of damaged carbon frames and components. My most common repairs come from crashes, shipping damage, and simple accidents where the bike happens to fall over. Prices can vary depending on the severity of damage, but the range is usually from $100 to $200. I have also repaired carbon wheels but they can be a little more tricky with brake surfaces. My range of service is pretty diverse, I've done some fun stuff with aero bars, disc wheels, and downtube protectors.  Everyone is encouraged to shoot me their ideas or problems. I'm always up for a project! Turn around times are quick, on average around a week with expedited repairs down to 24 hours possible.  Surface finishes are all nude carbon with your choice of matte or gloss and unidirectional or a 3K weave pattern.
