Well we did it again! With the help of our advertisers and event
organizers large and small, we managed to fill a record 96 pages
with rides and races in this edition of the Rocky Mountain Tour and
Race Guide. I remember the first time we put out the publication —
actually there were two, a race and a tour version, each 32 pages
long — eight years ago.
The popularity of cycling is growing; more people commute to
work and school and have discovered the health benefits of riding in
addition to the added pleasure of not sitting in traffic.
Programs like the largely successful Durango Devo, high school
leagues, and clubs are helping develop kids into lifelong cyclists.
Along those lines, take a look at pages 54 to 61, the athlete profiles
(I have to say it’s my favorite section), and you will see
what I mean.
Rides are evolving as well
with the gran fondos, gravel
grinders and ultra-endurance
events expanding upon the
classic and familiar century
format. Mountain bike enduros have gained in popularity, as have
cyclocross races, and both have opened up new opportunities for
everyone who want to give racing a try in a less intimidating fashion.
Kids’ races and family-friendly events are also on the rise.
All and all, there are plenty of fantastic opportunities out there,
with events to suit everyone’s desires and passions. We’ve inventoried more than 1,000 of them — it’s no wonder we needed
more pages.
Cycling in the Rocky Mountain region is vibrant and new events
as well as the long-established ones are shaping this season into a
grand cru. So like I did eight years ago, I urge you to read through
the guide, find an event that appeals to you, and go. Bring a friend,
it makes it even more enjoyable. While you’re at it, gift them a copy
of this guide.
Keep the rubber side down, we’ll see you out there.
“While you’re at

Three Key Yoga Poses
for Cyclists
Kari Studley, PT, DPT, CYT
A
s you build a base for the season, this is the
perfect time to incorporate basic yoga poses
into a stretching and training program. These
are helpful because they provide great counter
postures and stretches to the traditional forwardflexed cycling position. They also strengthen
muscles and joints through multi-directional movements and balance coordination. Below are three
poses that can be performed without a yoga mat,
combine basic strengthening with gentle stretching, and are practical for cyclists at any level.
Bridge
This pose is a great foundation for cycling and
core stabilization. It also strengthens the hamstrings and gluteus muscles in a movement similar
to pedaling.
1). Press through the feet and legs to lift up the
hips until a stretch is felt on the front of the thighs
(Figure 2). The goal is to elevate the hips so they
are in line with the shoulders and knees. Stop
immediately if you feel back pain. This exercise
should be felt in the back of the hips and legs and
the stretching quads on top. You can hold this
pose for 5 to 30 seconds and/or perform sets of
10 to 20 repetitions.
Downward Dog
This gentle inversion pose is a nice way to open
and stretch the shoulders, back, hamstrings and
calf muscles. It also works on balance and exploring weight bearing through the hands and feet. To
make this pose more cycling-specific, observe how
much weight you are pressing through the extremities. Engage your core by lifting your belly button
toward the spine/hips to lighten the load going
through the palms.
Figure 1 – Pre-bridge
Figure 3 – Downward Dog Pose
Figure 2 – Bridge Pose
How to Perform : Lay on your back with knees
bent, hip-width apart, and feet parallel to each
other. A firmer floor surface will be easier for
balance. Exhale and flatten the back to the floor
through engaging the abdominal muscles (Figure
6
How to Perform: Start in a hands and knees
position with fingers pointed forward, slightly wider
than the shoulders and keep feet hip width apart.
Simultaneously, press through the hands and feet
to lift the hips up (Figure 3). Squeeze the shoulder
blades together toward the spine to help lift the
hips up so the sit bones are the apex, pointed at
the ceiling. There should be about three feet of
space between your hands and toes. To increase
the calf stretch, gently press the heels downward
toward the ground. Weight should be distributed
Ride preparation
fairly equally between the extremities. Ensure that
the elbows and knees have a slight bend to minimize joint compression. Hold this pose for 5 to 30
seconds or up to 10 breaths. Repeat 2 to 10 times.
Modified Boat
If you only have time for one yoga pose, this challenging posture is the one to do. It combines core
stabilization, hamstring, arm and shoulder stretching
through advanced variations. Consistent practice will
improved posture and balance on the bike.
Figure 6 – Boat Pose Arm Variation
Figure 7 – Advanced Modified Boat Pose
Photos courtesy of Kari Studley
Figure 4 – Modified Boat Pose
Figure 5 – Boat Pose Leg Kick Variation
How to Perform: Start in a seated position with
knees bent and toes touching the floor. With hands
placed behind the knees for extra stability, lift the
chest tall and balance your weight on the sit bones
(Figure 4). This starting position is often enough
of a challenge, especially when trying to stay cen-
tered on the sit bones. If you are feeling stable, lift
one foot off the ground, keeping the back tall, until
a hamstring stretch is felt or the back begins to
slump (Figure 5). The next challenge is letting go
of the legs and to reach the arms forward. You can
work your way up by letting go one arm at a time
(Figure 6). Remember to keep the core engaged
and weight centered on the sit bones regardless of
what your legs or arms are doing. The final variation involves balancing on the sit bones with both
feet and hands lifted (Figure 7). With all boat variations, start with holding the pose for 5 seconds,
working you way up to 30 seconds. With leg and
arm lift variations; you can count each extremity
movement as repetitions or hold in that variation
for 5 to 30 seconds.

Handlebar Bag
P
By Martina Brimmer, Swift Industries
erched at the top of an alpine climb, I rifle
through my Paloma handlebar bag for a
well-earned snack. A spork, multi-tool, camp knife
and a little bottle of iodine tablets all stand at the
ready in the handy interior pockets of the bag,
while the rest of it is chalk-full of the daily essentials of adventuring by bicycle. For this eight-day
circumnavigation of the Olympic Mountains, my
bike is also outfitted with panniers and a saddle
bag, but I have designated the invaluable space in
front of my handlebars for my camera, sunscreen
and the base layers I peel off as I work my way
from ridge to ridge along foothills of the Northwest
mountain range.
The most important features of any handlebar
bag are:
1. Simple access to its contents
2. Optimized use of handlebar space
3. A secure and reliable mounting system
Easy access is a must. This minimizes stopping to pull out the basics along the way. Choose
a bag that opens from the rider’s side and has
a visible map case for queue sheets and charts.
Another thing to consider: features like a zipper
closure might be more challenging to open while
riding than a basic flap.
The mounting design determines how stable
the luggage is on the bicycle. Prioritize a bag that
does not sway or rattle. There are a few common
ways to mount a handlebar bag, the first being
with straps: two that wrap around the bars and one
that goes around the stem. The second is by using
a specially designed metal frame; some can be
installed to the bars and at the stem, while other
designs mount to the brake bosses, depending on
the make of the bag’s mounting system requirements. Finally, there’s the randonneur rack and
decaleur (quick-release) set-up.
When researching handlebar bags, weigh the
importance of being able to detach the bag quickly
for things like bringing it into a store to resupply
food and other goodies. In many cases it can
remain connected to the bicycle, but if you’re carrying valuables, prioritize a bag that features a
quick release mounting system.
For long distance riding and touring, size is a
very important consideration. The ideal volume of

a handlebar-mounted bag will allow for practical
packing, but shouldn’t tempt overloading to the
point where it impacts the steering.
The Paloma, referred to above, has a stiff
interior so that it bears weight while keeping its
shape. Inner pockets add the ability to organize
small belongings and leave space for large items
to fill the main body. Subtle features protect your
necessities from inclement weather and the bag
is easy to open from the saddle. It mounts to the
handlebars with either the Rixen + Kaul Klickfix
System (detachable), or the Nitto F-15 frame
(fixed). Both mounting designs place the bag flush
with the top of the bars and add rigidity to make
riding with forward weight responsive and secure.
The classic randonneur bag is boxy and rests
on a traditional small front rack. The bag is held
in place by an additional metal bracket that
attaches to the headset or the faceplate of the
stem, called a decaleur. Randonneuring demands
steady cycling and riders look for fluid access to
belongings without the need to slow or dismount.
The bag should be stiff and stable on gravel terrain
and chip seal and weather-tight through downpours and snow.
If you are heading out on a bike packing adventure you should look for specific remote riding features. It is critical to minimize breakable parts by
avoiding metal brackets and racks — one doesn’t
want to have a mounting system fail in the middle
of the wilderness.
Ride preparation
Handlebar bags are a great accessory to distance or commuting cycling of any type. Photo courtesy of Swift Industries
Soft handlebar bags that also cradle a bedroll
have been developed for mountain bike touring.
These models mount to flat bars using straps
and bring stability to the front load. Companies
like Oveja Negra and Porcelain Rocket offer solid
designs for singletrack touring. Bike packing gear
tends to be modular, so bags and pouches can be
added to the main set-up.
Integration with your bicycle
The bag you choose will be influenced by your
handlebar and brake set-up. Basics to consider
when researching a front bag include:
• The inside width of the drop bars
• Accounting for brake lever, shifters and cables
to calculate if the bag will impede shifting
• Cable routing may interfere with or be inhibited
by front luggage
• Consider how a bag will affect your riding position, especially if your hands most often rest on
the flats of the bars
• Bar bags may not be compatible with crosstop/inline levers
Riding with a front load will change the way
the bicycle steers. To avoid twitchy steering and
speed wobbles, try not to overload the bag. If
experiencing a dramatic difference in handling,
lighten the load. Because randonneur-style bags
are supported with a rack, they can accommodate more weight, but steering response to the
additional weight may also be influenced by the
bicycle’s geometry.
Handlebar bags are a great accessory to distance or commuting cycling of any type, and are
amazingly convenient for urban riding. They offer
an easily accessible place for your essentials and
provide the perfect spot for maps and cue sheets.
The best designs make it easy to take the bag on
and off and simple to carry over the shoulder when
running errands or exploring.

in Wyoming’s ranching land and open plains underscores
the importance of the state’s natural resources. Stop by Curt

everyone, the journey begins up scenic Happy Jack Road, the

point (8,640’), and enjoy a great view of the 13-foot bronze
Lincoln Bust at the summit, commemorating the visionary
behind the first transcontinental highway. For riders who
choose to ride all 100 miles, the elevation gain makes the ride

spectacular and not to be missed. To boost the motivation of
those who need to go fast, the top individuals and teams are
rewarded with cash prizes. But for the majority of participants,
this is still a fun, non-competitive ride that features a rolling
start. Other giveaways are distributed at the post-ride festival,
alongside an incredible meal and live music. A word of caution
— drink lots of fluids. Benefits the Juvenile Diabetes

September 26: Mountains to Desert Bike Ride
What is the best thing about riding from the mountains to a
desert? It’s mostly downhill. Other highlights? The amazing
landscape found on this route. Starting in Telluride and ending
in Gateway, riders roll through canyons, by bluffs, and along
the Dolores and San Miguel Rivers for what is possibly the
most beautiful ride in Colorado. Beginners would enjoy the
shorter distance. For those who can’t do without ascending,
simply add the Summit Climb Ride or a detour to Unaweep
Canyon. The Telluride 200 tests both endurance and stamina
as it peeks into the Grand Valley before returning to Gateway.
Two kid rides will take place the weekend prior to the event.

May 16: The Wild Horse
Located in Cedar Mountain Wilderness, the start line is less
than one hour from the heart of downtown, just south of
Interstate 80. A vast and uncrowded area, riders can often
bike for hours without encountering another vehicle or person.
However, some 600 wild horses call this area home. The
76-mile, with its 5,000’ of elevation gain, offers a challenging
dirt-only ride, while the 31-mile Little Wild Horse is a valuable
option. Both routes go over Hastings Cutoff pass, used by
the Donner-Reed party on their ill-fated 1846 journey west.
The event is timed for bragging rights only, and draw prizes
are plentiful. Money from every ticket sold goes directly to
the NICA Utah League Scholarship Fund, a national program
focused on increasing the overall access to mountain bike
leagues. Limit 300 riders. Pre-registration only.

World and National Champions. Their performances have inspired many who have the same dreams.

Who is your cycling idol and why? Katie Compton, because she is such a great cyclist and I was told I looked
like a young Katie.
How did you get started? I participated in a triathlon camp and raced in 2012; I only liked the cycling part. I
joined a Junior Devo team, which gave me a great intro to mountain biking and cross.
Anything else we should know? I was given my first, real mountain bike by a fellow female mountain biker
when I first started. The mountain bike and cyclocross communities have been very friendly and encouraging.
A supportive community really makes a difference.

Bike Park

DH Championships (U14)
2015 goals: Get better about always squaring up to wet roots and cleaning and lubing my bike. Better finish at
the State Championships
Long term goals: Race at Angelfire and ride in BC. Learn 360s, flat spins and the sickest tail whips. Get
into MTB product development. Start a rock band, but I should probably learn an instrument or how to sing
or something.
Who is your cycling idol and why? Brendan Fairclough and Cain Leonard because they’re really smooth and
they rip really hard.
How did you get started? My family operates an action sports camp for kids called Gravity Groms. Mom and
Dad ride a lot and I guess it’s in my blood. I also compete in Big MTN Freeride and Skiercross all winter. I
always liked to descend as fast as I can.
Anything else we should know? I wear all the protection and pads I can get because DH can be dangerous.
I’d like kids to know that doing outdoor action sports is so much better than watching them on TV or playing
video games about it. Everyone can find a curb or pile of dirt to jump.

don’t think that’s such a bad thing. I have plenty of time to reach my potential and build the skills to race the
world cup courses. You don’t have to win everything as a junior athlete. My dad always says that if no one
bleeds it’s not a good ride, but I think it should be that if no one laughs it’s not a good ride.
