Talk with Carlos Casali of the Gates Singlespeed Race Team

For most of my CX season was spent in chase of these guys so now that the season is over (for me at least) lets catch up and learn more about the team and the growing division of single speed... which if you didn't know, I love.

[303Cycling] How did the Gates Carbon Drive Single Speed team get started?

It all started with individuals who are cyclists themselves - Brad Marshall, Frank Scurlock, Todd Sellden and others within Gates Carbon Drive Systems, the global leader in bicycle belt-drive technologies, got together to discuss the possibility of putting a single speed team together to act as brand ambassadors, grow the popularity of singlespeed cyclocross and spread awareness about the advantages of Carbon Drive. I myself didn’t know much about this system, I will be honest, but now I am completely sold – I now have 3 bikes with belt drives. The system is clean, quiet, and strong (I weigh 185 lbs, if someone can put this to the test, I am a good candidate as anyone). As the team has been preaching to all who approached us before and after races, maintenance on this system is easy, just hose it off. The name ‘Carbon Drive’ comes from the carbon fiber cords embedded in the belt. Much more can be found in http://www.carbondrivesystems.com/media/

[303Cycling] Carlos, how did you personally get involved with cyclocross and especially single speed?

Here is part three of the interview. We talked about Pete heading to Europe during the Holidays Brandon meeting Pete in Europe to race Masters Worlds.

It's been awhile since we did our Friday Fun... enjoy and as always, if you find something funny and bike related let us know

Before the next set of videos... Have you been following Alexi Grewal's Blog? After 2 more months you can print off all of the pages, bind it up and you'll have a great cycling book. Crazy stuff in his head but interesting to read.

Lee Hill Shoulders, Valmont reconstruction and Chip & Seal 95th

From the office of Boulder County Transportation

As the 2010 comes to a close, it's time to start thinking about all the great riding that lies ahead next year! As such, we thought it'd be good to update you on some of our construction projects for 2011 that could factor into your riding plans.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lee Hill Shoulders Project - starting January 2011

The reconstruction of Lee Hill Drive, between 4th Street and Olde Stage Road is anticipated to get underway this winter and continue through the early summer. Most of the work this winter will be replacing a large drainage culvert north (uphill) of Wagon Wheel Road; some limited rock work on the northern edge of the roadway; and the construction of a large retaining wall between the road and Four Mile Creek. Our construction schedule is largely weather dependant. Cyclists should anticipate significant on-going construction activity along the entire road as late as July 2011.
