The Original Growler is back for 2010 and will be Sunday May 30th on
an all new course: a 32-mile lap at the Hartman Rocks area on BLM
public lands. At this time we’re planning to use last year’s course but
in the opposite direction and with a couple of twists and turns thrown
in. The well-marked course contains loads of classic Gunnison
singletrack - trails like Skull Pass, Top of the World, Rattlesnake and
Joshos. You won’t be bored! Each lap will climb around 4,000 vertical
feet (but never more than a few hundred in one shot.) One mass start
for all categories, both distances. 7am sharp. Travis Brown won last
year’s 64 in just over 6 hours.
This one-of-a-kind 24-hour bike tour loops through downtown Crested
Butte, meandering across the town's bridges. Sign up solo and brave the
bike seat for all 24 hours, or put together a team and tour the town in
shifts as day turns to night. Riders are encouraged to collect pledges to be eligible to win
great prizes, including a 2011 Ride the Rockies spot, 2010/2011 CBMR
Gold Pass, and more. Proceeds from the event go to the Adaptive Sports
Center.
