A Busy Weekend

The Oskar Blues Cycling contingent had a super fun & busy weekend. First off we sent our local Yeti guru rockin' Ron Schuman to Fruita to beer up the 2008 Yeti Tribe gathering. Sounds like good riding & good times were had by all, more to come from the Yeti geek himself I'm sure. We also hit the Battle the Bear & Front Range 50 races with Brew & some BBQ. Dales Pale Ale / Spot Brand riders had a heck of a day in the saddle led by Delly's Starr's victory & Megan Monroe's 4th in the female pro race. Michael Vigers continued his streak of early season form to take home 2nd in the single speed Battle the Bear. That was only a 30 mile race, Monique Hein finished the fidy miler just under 4 hours to claim second in the 19-29 Female category & 4th overall before continuing on & riding in the kids race. Chelsea McGowen & Gavin Hayes also covered all 50 of the hot Front Range miles.

Sunday we headed back to Lyons to work on the Bohn Park Dirt Jump scene in preparation for the Lyons Outdoor Games. The jumps are all pretty well sculpted but just need to be ridden in a bit more as the competition approaches. TJ Sharp & his homeboy Dave Camp came out to put the final touches on them & burn 'em in. TJ built some killer kicks & these things are putting people into orbit. If the big line looks a little to Barry Bonds for you there are also 2 smaller lines to get your huck on. Come on out & help us get these babies dialed in the next two weeks.



We're gearing up for this years Chili Challenge. This year the Chili is extra hot, it's a world's team qualifier for MX and DH for pros and juniors, a NMBS race for SD, DH and MX, a USAC MTB National Calendar Event Gravity and XC, a UCI inscripted C2 event for DH and MX & also the MX National Championships (pro only). Summer is heating up already, see you on the dirt!
