Where is Boulder's BRA?

Submitted by Kris Thompson on

News Item: 

I think Boulder has lost its BRA or maybe they never had a BRA. Those who follow cycling news, especially that of recent events on West TSA access have to take a moment and reflect on the power of BMA. Whether the BMA wins or not the West TSA access issue it shows the power of a tightly knitted mountain biking community! So where is BRA (Boulder Road biking Association)?

From the DailyCamera

Boulder County is going to update its Master Transportation Plan with a new look at transportation as a multi-modal world not one just about cars.

"Before, the standards told us how thick the asphalt should be on the road or how wide the lanes should be," Gerstle said. "It didn't tell us anything about what sort of pedestrian facilities we should be building or what bus stops should look like."

Chuck, I believe you

This story does not reflect the opinion of 303Cycling and its partners or clients of 303cycling, this is just my opinion

Yes, Chuck, I believe you.

I'm probably going to start a fire storm with my opinion because I have no factual news that shows proof that he is clean only what I have read in Velonews and a few email conversations I've had. I have only raced with Chuck once, he was my instructor at the Boulder Velodrome and I have a half baked interview I did with him years ago but I never got it published. I'm not a close friend, probably not on his Christmas card list but I believe him.

I want to thank Velonews for doing a quality job covering this local news item. Without their efforts I'm not sure where I would stand on this issue.

Even though I believe him I also believe what he did was wrong. I never let others use my computer or cell phone and neither should have him.

You want to make a difference, start with the mirror.

Here's mine. As I mentioned online my cheating I did at Cyclo-X and there have been times a few years ago when I was a cat 3 when I probably drank too much coffee before a few cross races. Not sure what the legal limit is for caffeine but I was pretty jacked up on it. Not exactly EPO, steroids other banned substances but that's mine.

What's yours?
