Hello,
Colorado Timberline Academy has invited us to their land to take part in the CTA SHort Track and Jump Jam. As you may already know, they have amazing progressive jumps for beginner to pro and a new singletrack course around the property that makes for great skill building.
The B race will be at 6pm (now 30 min later) and the A race at 630pm. The jump jam will go from 530-730 with the Expression Session at 7pm, a group jump sesh to the Rad Soundtrack. There will also be grilled burgers or dawgs for very cheep to keep us going till dark, so come on out and race your bike, then eat meat and jump your bike till dark.
The short track racing is 5$ to compete and racers should expect a multi lap 20+ minute singletrack/gravel roads/doubletrack course.
The jump jam is free and non competitive!

Read MoreThanks again girls for showing up to Devo in the rain ready to help and support our Animas River by picking up trash along the banks. Everyone had a colorful rain coat on, thank you parents for helping them have the right gear. We sure found a few interesting items! Ask your girls…. Each of them filled a bag, fortunately we didn’t find as much trash as we thought we would, thats a good thing. Half way through the sun came out and it was beautiful! Love that Colorado weather.
I think that is an alien hand signal they learned out on course???
Check out the Results. Nice work to the entire Devo and Durango crew who attended this legendary small town race.
