State Highway 170 to gain shoulders

The Boulder County Transportation Department will begin a project this spring to add shoulders to State Highway 170. Boulder County is working cooperatively with CDOT to complete this 3.5-mile stretch of highway between State Highway 93 and Superior. The final product will look similar to Cherryvale Road, which was completed a few years ago. The purpose is to provide a safer area for bicycles to ride on the road adjacent to automobiles.

Originally identified as a priority in the Transportation Sales Tax passed in 2001, the project is estimated to cost $2.3 million when completed. The first phase of the project was completed in 2007, when the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) paved the surface of the road for winter wear. The final phase of the project will add another layer of asphalt after the shoulders have been constructed.

SH 170 is a scenic road that runs along the old mining community of Marshall and allows views of historic railroad grades and open space trails. It is popular with commuter and recreational bicyclists alike.

Fwd: Saturday ride

Hi all - I plan to leave Vic's at 9 for 2-3 hours.  Maybe Ward if I feel up to it, maybe not.  Jeff

Swift donates used water bottles to YMCA


A very happy YMCA youth program director poses with bags and boxes of clean, used water bottles left over from the Hugo Road Race, which took place May 31, 2008. Six to seven hundred bottles have been re-used from both Deer Trail and Hugo this year. All part of making Swift an environmentally friendly bike club. We also buy carbon credits to offset the greenhouse gases emitted by offering our bike races, and do Adopt-a-Road cleanup of Nelson Road between 51st and 63rd.

Thursday (6/5) evening ride canceled

Ride canceled this evening. The weather report shows rain and potential thunderstorms through midnight, so I am guessing that it will not break up at 5:30. Best bet is to go get french fries at Mountain Sun...

Hill Climb ride - Thursday, 5:30, Vics 30th

Vics 30th, 5:30, Thursday, climbing ride - Lee Hill to Deer Trail and return

I am going to ride Lee Hill to the top, and continue on up the Deer Trail road to the end of the pavement.  Lee Hill is moderate, but Deer Trail appears to be a bit steeper.  I have never ridden Deer Trail, so it might be a bit of an adventure.  We can re-group at the top of the Lee Hill climbs and at the top of Deer Trail.  Return will be retracing Lee Hill back home.
