These photos goes back a few years. A number of locals have ridden Capitol Reef, due in large part to Brian’s family connection to the area. Everyone who has ever ridden a bicycle in the Capitol Reef area absolutely loves it. Some time ago, I mentioned in the blog that the Capitol Reef Classic has returned for 2014 after a brief absence. There is plenty of good news for 2014. This year’s event will be held on Saturday the 19th of July. It has been designated as the Utah State Road Cycling Championship. Kelson Bikes will be a title sponsor. In addition to the race, the organizers will be offering a Gran Fondo. I think the combination of a race and a fondo on the same day is a great way to make the event relevant and accessible to the broadest possible range of interests and abilities among cyclists.
If you are looking for a mid-summer race or gran fondo, please consider this one. The area is scenic, the quality of the roads is very good, and the race organization is outstanding. The success of every event in cycling depends on getting the word out to enough people. Even if you cannot go to the CRC, please help spread the information to anyone you know who might be interested. http://www.capitolreefclassic.bike/home.html
