From the Denver Post

Durango mountain bicycle powerhouse Ned Overend was surprised when he learned about the "Name It For Ned" campaign to rename a local mountain park in his honor.

The campaign, led by Colorado cycling advocate Ed Zink, succeeded last week when the city council voted in favor of Overend Mountain Park.

Zink, longtime chairman of the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic and a USA Cycling Level 3 coach, organized the effort to honor Overend.

The first March Practice Criterium is in the books. I went out to check out the "A Race". It was a good size field and by the time I got there a break was off the front. Here are a few pictures I took.

Here is a video that was sent to us of the finish of the "B Race". Watch for the crash about 5 seconds in. Ouch!!!

From BMA on Friday

We know, this mud season is taking a toll on our collective mental health. But we need to report that ALL Boulder County trails are marginal at best and extremely vulnerable to damage. We don't know of any natural surface trails in the Denver region that are in good, ridable condition.

This freeze/thaw cycle that our frontcountry lands have been enduring creates a perfect storm of damage that could take years to recover from.

Please, if you have to use the trails, ride THROUGH the mud, not around it. Better yet, BMA suggests that you go discover the network of hard surface trails throughout the County and Denver Metro area and give our singletrack a break.

To our knowledge, the only good riding to be had this weekend in Colorado is at Lake Pueblo State Park. Conditions are dry and wonderful there. Click http://www.lakepueblotrails.org/doc_display.asp?dpath=Arch_Control&Mitem... for current conditions.

The show took place at Indy Ink in Denver - a super cool shop that designs and prints their own t-shirts. Last Friday night it was transformed into a gallery opening (as is the case most First Fridays) and race headquarters for the start and finish of an alleycat.

The f/STOPS show was curated by Broox Pulford. The show featured a variety of photos dedicated to the image of the bicycle, from a picture of Lance Armstrong mountain biking to an artful black and white developed on real film. The 20 plus artists and the alleycat drew quite a crowd that ebbed and flowed throughout the evening.
