Be the first to ride Colorado's NEWEST Century, the Blue River Century that benefits the Lance Armstrong Foundation on Saturday, June 21st up in Summit County, CO. (River Run at Keystone)

****Hurry REGISTRATION closes on June 16th and there is NOT ride day registration.

The girls will get Bella "Girl cut" shirts! We ordered extra, but only a limited amount of extra, since they are nice, therefore more expensive.

Interesting. I will not be there for this century and even if I were, I don't know if I would ride it. I have ridden every inch of the entire route many times (including each of the finishes), and my concern is the two-way traffic on the bike paths. Yes, there is always two-way traffic, but if there is a large turnout for this ride it could get pretty crowded.

Good luck. Post a follow-up to let us know how it went.

The ride was a great success and had many positive comments. You can go to website and see the youtube slideshow if you want. www.bluerivercentury.com

I'm already addressing growth of ride and Vail Pass bike path issue, working on an alternate route. It will be okay I'm guessing for the 2nd year but it's on the agenda as the ride grows. I have it capped at 700 and at this time, do not have any intention to increase it past that. I do want to keep it a quality riding experience as well as safe for all participants. :)

Already working on Blue River Century 2009. Hope to see you there!
