Stazio, but the powers to be want to charge a rediculous rental fee for the unused fields. It would be cheaper to rent the softball fields to gain access to the roads than it would be to 'rent' or pay for the fields to be idle so that people can race.
Colorado front range certainly does not need yet another crit! Any circuit/road race would be a better addition to the calendar. There are more than enough crits around the denver area, and very very few road events that don't require an hour plus drive time. Keep the Candella's circuit
I would LOVE to see Stazio return, and (bonus!) they've completely fixed the climb and widened it!
If they can bring it back without the ridiculous site rental fee, I am all for it. Hopefully they can do it as a spring series in conjunction with a collegiate event like I recall they did one year.
There is now some offices in the middle of the Stazio course that are open 7 days a week. Don't want to be doing a crit with cars going in and out of the course.
Look past the existing environment, problems can be overcome and the former promoter of Stazio and Candelas is wanting everyone's input... Assume the race could go on.
If he can get it, then a Stazio race or a 3-4 race series. A lot of people can just ride out to Stazio from home...
Keep it as simple and low cost as possible.
my understanding of Mead (if you're talking about the car track vs. the Mead-Roubaix?) is that the car track changed hands and the new owner(s) wanted nothing to do with bike racing / liability, so that's beyond anyone's control.
Dont know why Candela's in nixed this year; even with the mediocre turnout last year DBC should have been able to make a few bucks on it. Give me the contact approval with the town and id be happy to run it if Chris is out.

STAZIO!! I love that course. The hill separates the men from the boys. And doing it 14-20 times in a row is GREAT training!!!

is stazio really necessary
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
is stazio really necessary anymore since we are now usac? there are a bunch of great races in march already. CU Crit, DU Crit, Oredigger, Ft. Collins.
What would be great is to bring back Meade. That course is so much better than CSP and the Boulder Tech Center.
Of course, I offer no solution...

CU Crit at Stazio?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
There is a strong chance that the CU Crit will be moving from Research Park to Stazio. So this poll might be pointless...
