Boulder Velo Racing Team cira late 80's?

Niwot Road Race: 1971-1980(?): 70 mile race (7 laps), traditional start of the CO “spring classics”

Grey Quiz: 1971-‘73: One of the spring classics, week after Morgul Bizmarck (I won Morgul in 1974) (the name of the companion cat to Morgul Bizmarck, that I am pretty sure owned by Kalman Halsi, a pretty classy rider—looked like Jacques Anquitil.) The race was a two-lap eighty mile road race that touched on the flatter sections of the Morgul then went north through Boulder County.

Vail Criterium: 1972 & 1973 & 1976 (@ Lionshead in ’76 – I was 2nd)

Leadville Winter Mountain Bike Race Series

Submitted by Ben Welnak on

News Item: 

Leadville, Colorado – There aren’t many places in the country like Leadville. Things are a little different when you live in the middle of the Rocky Mountains above 10,000 feet. Winter is long, cold, and full of snow. What to do if you want to stay active? Perhaps head out for some skiing or snowshoeing? This group of hardy souls hops on their mountain bikes and hits the trails.

Preview for the 2011 Leadville Winter Mountain Bike Series

In an attempt to bring a little heat to the cold days, Cycles of Life has been holding a winter mountain bike race series since 2009. In 2009, the series consisted of five races. The attendance for the races varied from about 15 up to around 70. In 2010, they condensed the series to three races – East Side Epic, Tennessee Pass Night Jam, and Mineral Belt Mayhem. The 2011 series will stay the same as 2010.

    DBC Events is taking an old race, Boulder Roubaix and replacing it with something similar the new 2010 Mead Roubaix Road Race! This race, much like the Boulder event it not for those who get a little scared of gravel. While this course may not produce as much gravel as the Boulder Roubaix it may be just enough to give this event a unique behavior.
