Fun Summer

What a busy summer the racers of CAMBYR have had this year!  From racing in Denver, to Breckenridge, to Curt Gowdy and even a few of the team members took part in a week long mountain bike camp in Laramie.  The kids are learning so much and us coaches are having a great time seeing the racers on the trails.  The local mountain bike series has been a great place for us all to see each other and talk about racing.  The first practice and team meeting will be Thursday August 1st.  We will do a little bike fitting and then go for a ride before our pizza party.  At that time, we can register any youth that still have not been "invited" by our online registration.  

We have a wonderful bunch of talented and knowledgable ride leaders this year and our practices will be awesome.  We have so much help, that we want to add another day.  So Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays will be practices.  Practice locations will vary, so pay attention to your emails and our Facebook page (coming very soon).  

Are you on the email list?  If not, shoot me an email at casperhsmtb@gmail.com and i'll get you added.

See you soon and enjoy these photos of some of the team members racing their bikes this summer!!

We are looking forward to cap off an awesome season at Curt Gowdy this weekend. We'll have a couple of good practices this week and then it will be off to the last race of the season:( It's always a bittersweet time of year when the season ends. Anyhow, Zach is writing up a race report for the blog and any of you parents who have pictures from this weekend, please send them to us and we will post them on the blog also for all to see. If you want to hear what's special about this weekend come to practice tomorrow. Meet at Rotary Park at 5:30 and plan on running the Bridle trail. We will do 40min out and 20 Min back. Bring the running shoes and a water bottle. Get a little something to eat at least 1/2 hour to an hour before you come. See you all there tomorrow.

Later,

CAMBYR coaches

What a great ride this morning!!!! Hope you all had as much fun as Keith & I.  Thanks to all those parents and volunteers who helped us out.  Next time I promise we will get many more miles.  For those of you who have to work and have band practice, please try and get some riding in.  In 3 weeks we will be heading to Granby for some competition.  So the more miles you get in now will be of benefit for you, so ride or run, lots!
On Tuesday plan on packing your running attire (no bikes) plan on meeting at Rotary Park @ 5.30 we will be doing some trail running.  Fatfish riders did this often over the winter months.
Thurs, Sir Adam wants to take us for some new and exciting trail rides off Coats Road @ 5.30.  Plan is to meet at the Loaf & Jug just before Robertson Rd, from there we can carpool to the trail head.  Any questions feel free to text me or call on my cell or at work. 
Love Leif
