Devo’s 20th Anniversary Weekend

Jon Bailey, Sarah Tescher, and other Devo legends are organizing and curating a Devo-centric art and history exhibit at Union Social House. You can expect all kinds of bike-oriented magic, nostalgia, and whimsy. The exhibit will open on Friday afternoon and be available to visit throughout the weekend.

Join us at Union Social House to check out the “20 Years of Devo” Art and History exhibit around 4 PM! Then, at 5-ish, we’ll head to Ska to join the Big Welcome Bash. Riders can choose to spin down to Ska as a part of a chill group ride or take place in a very-special urban Alley Cat. “Alley Cats” are among Devo’s most cherished traditions; they combine a scavenger hunt, an urban bike adventure, and the ultimate team bonding experience. Teams of four race against each other to complete challenges ranging from the creative to the athletic to the just plain silly. The perfect start to a big weekend of Devo!

Come directly to Ska, or participate in our “Alley Cat”/group ride (see above) that ends at the brewery. We’ll have music, photos from 20 years of Devo history, basketball hoops, and good vibes. Come as you are, all are welcome.

Devo has been holding junior fun races for as long as we’ve been Devo (hint: 20 years), so let’s enjoy an epic celebratory one. This event is for riders age 3 to 11ish on a fun short track course filled with twists, turns, obstacles, and surprises. Popsicles all but guaranteed.

Another fun-filled Alley Cat race, but focused on family-friendly challunges! Explore Durango’s new Mesa Park by bike while completing challenges ranging from the creative to the athletic to the just plain silly. Youth participation is encouraged — some challenges will be especially-invented with young junior shredders in mind.

We have the distinct privilege of being the first to ride at Durango Mesa Park’s brand new trails. Come ride the twisty-turny, fun-but-challenging, soon-to-be-legendary, Chad-Cheeney-designed Short Track race!

Join Mesa Park Staff and Leaders, as well as folks on the Durango Devo team, for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the brand new Mesa Park. Learn about the incredible new park’s progress to date, current offerings, and future plans.

Whether you can’t resist a “first” event or just love the dual slalom course, join us for the first-ever official race on the Mesa’s brand-new, gravity-oriented trails. Racers will complete 4 timed stages across the Mesa Park, including a stage down the very-fast Dual Slalom Course and a special grand finale on the Park’s totally-fresh, world class pump track.

Please join us on Saturday at the Powerhouse for a very special evening with the stars. At our intimate 20th anniversary gala and fundraiser, we will hear from Devo alumni and leaders, celebrate an amazing two decades of wonder, and look ahead to everything to come in Devo’s next 20 years.

Join Durango Bike Polo legends for a beginner clinic followed by a fun, non-competitive beginner “open play”. The perfect way to see first-hand why Bike Polo is the ultimate training for bike handling, balance, and teamwork skills. Rumor has it Devo’s own Chad Cheeney will be sharing a improvised, heartfelt speech regarding the romance of bike polo, just to get us all in the appropriate head space!

Come compete or spectate as Durango’s Bike Polo enthusiasts throw down in the ultimate tourney. Enjoy high thrills, high drama, and high skill — and plenty of shenanigans.
