The Growler Training Series - 2010

Now in its fifth year, the Growler Training Series mountain bike races take place on three Thursday evenings in late April and May at the Hartman Rocks Multi-Use Recreation Area near Gunnison.  This classic mountain bike race/fun ride series is for all ages and abilities with men's and women's divisions in three categories: Short Course; Long Course Sport; and Long Course Expert.  There also are races for kids.  Registration opens on-site at 4:30pm and the racing begins at 5:45pm.  The cost is $15 per race (but little kids race for free!).  Proceeds benefit Gunnison Trails.  For more information, visit www.gunnisontrails.com.

When the leaves start to slowly turn green and the trees blossom, you know the Crested Butte Music Festival (CBMF) is just around the corner!

FISHING EVENTS

Gunnison Kiwanis Club Blue Mesa Lake Fishing Tournament, May 1 - 2  

The Gunnison Kiwanis Club has earned a stellar reputation for its Blue Mesa Lake Fishing Tournament, which typically sells quickly. Teams of two will start at Elk Creek Marina and angle for trout (rainbow, brown, cutthroat and other). The entry fee is $120 per team, with an extra $10 cost to enter the Mackinaw trout competition. Historically, the prize has been in excess of $1,000 for first place. For information and a registration form visit www.GunnisonChamber.com or call Bruce Saunders at (970) 901-0110.
