* This tourney will be free of charge.

*We will use a #1 aka Mini soccer ball.

* Some type of uniform-costume is a must (it helps the players and spectators)-same color shirt is just fine.

*Wear a helmet if you wish. Wear a Tu-tu if you wish. Wear a pistol if you wish.

* At stake is the Colorado Cup (currently held by "The Belfry Boys" of Fort Collins Bike Hockey)
Come take it from us!! --We are tired of granting interviews and entertaining groupies. The pressures of being state champions have caused us all to become unsightly with gain weight and contract exotic venereal diseases. The wine, women, and song has to stop sometime.

* Round Robin in the morning (11:00 AMish) soon followed by tournament play.

*More info as it comes in.

Crunch...Single Speed Torque

Labor Day Escape

With an extra day to visit the high country before fall & winter we loaded up with Redstone Cyclery & some OB Brews & headed up. The Starting view was a great springboard for adventure to come.
Jeremy pushin' the single speed up a small portion of the steep climbing.
One of the first views.
Dave hunkers down from the harsh wind to enjoy a vew.
Jeremy found a shelter from the wind while we enjoyed the view.
The descent was super steep and technical...super STEEP, SUPER TECHNICAL.
There were a few GEMS found along the way.

The Double Dip: Once we returned from the views & riding we reloaded the Old Chub jeep & hit the trail 4 wheel style for more fantastic views & fun.
The Old Chub jeep hittin it.

Marily enjoys a view & a DPA
another great view on the day...we saw some smoke in the distance. Certainly a the beginning of a terrible bunch of fires in Boulder County.
One more view...a day full of 'em

We Was Rollin'.

A great day ended with terrible news of the Four Mile Canyon fire captured here by www.eddieclarkmedia.com. Best wishes to as many folks affected by the fire, you are in our thoughts.

It is my life's work to be able to use not only my music but my music production company (Awnry Girl Productions) to bring awareness to causes local and world wide. After raising nearly $1,200 for The Haitian Earthquake for the BRESMA Orphanage in Port au Prince- I realized that it's the least I could do and having a stage, a guitar and a great wealth of musician friends and neighbors in the community, we are a group of people who truly want to help- This is jut one way we can make a difference.

1) If you are a musician- I still have some slots to play a John Prine song at the Tribute. Please see list at end of email of songs already taken and choose one that's not taken. Please copy this info to your Facebooks, Twitters, Websites etc...

2) If you are a community member/friend and have a service or item to donate to a raffle please bring it to Oskar Blues ( or call me and I will come and get it) . We will also be selling raffle tickets for gift certificates and what ever I can manage to round up in the next week.

3)If you can help me collect items for the raffle please reach out to your friends who can donate something. Call me 970 531 6259

4) Come to the Tribute/Benefit and give what you can- $20 suggested but anything will help.

Suprise: Kenosha Pass to Breckenridge...and back

We jumped in the truck with an idea of a 2 hour ride...i returned home a day later in the same clothes with great stories and a large smile. Jeremy & Dale get rolling on the Colorado Trail from Kenosha Pass. Navigating a tricky bridge The view looking back towards Kenosha Pass A great view near Georgia Pass Jeremy rolls over the summit of Georgia Pass Jeremy enjoys a Dale's Pale Ale below the view of Boreas Mtn. Dale getting after it on the descent. After a long descent we came out on Tiger Road. Jeremy soaks up the sun & river with a DPA in Breckenridge. We hit up Breckenridge Brewery for some Wings & then headed to Southridge Seafood in Breck for an amazing dinner & a Dale's Pale Ale. That place is great, the group ordered much off the menu & there wasn't anything that wasn't great. After a night of beer & seafood we grabbed some sleep. We had time restraints in the return trip so we headed up Boreas Pass & Cheered on the Breck Epic before hitting trail. Dale drops into the Gold Dust Trail.
The terrain throughout the ride changed multpile times & quickly...this was a fun smooth section through the trees

There were a few sections of tough ups & downs.

We dropped out of the Gold Dust Trail with a good amount of road remaining. Full Circle.
