And
it
started
off
very
interestingly
as
what
was
called
a
steeplechase.
You
know
about
these
in
running
the
steeple
in
most
European
towns
was
the
one
iconic
thing
that
could
be
seen
from
virtually
any
place
and
by
the
way,
it's
very
flat
and
most
of
the
parts
of
Europe
where
cyclocross
comes
from.
So
they
would
run
these
races
over
mud
through
fields
over
stone
walls
on
their
bikes
to
get
from
point
A
to
the
steeple
cyclocross.

watch
it

be
seen
every
six
to
seven
minutes
and

Last

between
20
and

An
artistic
bike
rack
designed
to
commemorate
the
Pro
Cycling
Challenge,
is
up
and
operational
for
biking
and
art,
enthusiasts
alike.
A
C
Great
I
mean
I'm
excited
I,
hope
that
you
know
I
want
to
get
a
few
more
bikes
locked
up
to
it
and
have
you
know
let
people
know
that
they
can.
You
know
lock
their
bike
up
to
it
and
I
think
that'll,
be
it
just
makes
it
look
more
functional.
So
it's
really
nice
to
be
able
to
go
by
and
every
day
and
just
check
it
out
and
see
how
it's
doing
the.
A
C
I've
started
to
look
around
Boulder
and
I'm,
like
we
don't
have
Corey
on
anywhere
outside
and
we've
never
liked,
thermoformed
it
or
heated
it
up,
and
you
know,
used
it
in
a
in
a
curve
like
this.
So
that
was
like
the
exciting
part
for
me
was
just
to
push
the
material
out
there
and
I
also
think
it
gives
kind
of
like
a
very
futuristic
and
kind
of
sleek.
Look
to
the
bike.
Rack
Michelle.
A
Also
chose
chorion
because
of
its
renewable
characteristics,
its
long-lasting
with
stands
cold
and
heat
due
to
the
light
color,
it
won't
fade
and
if
it
gets
scratched
up
instead
of
repainting
and
can
be
sanded
down
to
be
restored
for
Michelle.
Exploring
this
new
material
was
the
most
exciting
part
of
the
process.
So.
C
There's
the
steel
in
here
and
then
it's
just
the
chorion
on
both
sides.
They
had
these
metal
pieces
and
then
they
took
flat
sheets
of
chorion
and
they
put
it
in
a
big
oven
and
they
became
very
pliable
and
then
they
put
the
sheets
on
top
of
the
metal
and
clamped
it
down,
and
once
it
was
clamped
they
were
and
cooled
the
chorion
just
kind
of
kept
its
shape.

A
Bike
rack
can
accommodate
up
to
four
bikes
is
located
just
across
from
the
boulder
transit
center
on
fourteenth
and
walnut
stage.
Seven
of
the
USA
Pro
challenge
will
ride
through
boulder
August
twenty-fourth
this
year.
Well,
most
of
us
were
preparing
for
the
holidays.
The
CU
freestyle
ski
team
was
brushing
up
on
their
Italian
and
getting
ready
for
their
first
international
competition.
A
D
Was
a
pretty
incredible
experience,
sort
of
like
a
mini
Olympics
in
a
way,
so
is
it
was
really
cool
to
be
a
part
of
it,
and
Russia
ended
up
winning
the
whole
competition
and
they
had
think
like
55
medals
in
total,
and
the
US
only
had
four
medals,
two
of
which
came
from
us
from
freestyle.
So
that
was
really
impressive
to
see
and.
E
All
of
our
students
are
taking
12
credit
hours
per
semester,
so
considering
that
I
think
we
did
very
well,
especially
because
we
brought
home
gold
and
bronze
for
women's
slopestyle.
The
next
thing
for
us
is
Nationals,
which
is
in
March
and
again
we're
looking
to
bring
home
another
title.
Last
year
we
brought
home
both
men's
and
women's
national
titles,
which
is
the
first
time
we
ever
did
that
so
looking
to
do
that
again,
if
you'd.
A
Like
to
be
part
of
see
you
FST,
the
requirements
are
simple:
applicants
must
be
enrolled
at
CU
and
must
be
dedicated
to
improving
their
skiing
skills
and
working
as
a
team
to
find
out
all
the
details.
Log
on
to
see
you
FST
com,
2014
promises
to
be
a
significant
year
for
the
city's
ongoing
evaluation
about
whether
to
create
a
local
electric
utility.
We
caught
up
with
executive
director
heather
bailey
to
talk
about
the
many
different
aspects
of
a
busy
work
plan,
so.
F
F
We
are
continuing
our
discussions
with
Xcel
Energy
and
we're
really
anxiously
awaiting
the
delivery
of
a
package
of
new
products
and
services
that
they
want
to
be
able
to
offer
to
boulder
and
as
well
as
the
rest
of
their
service
territory
that
might
help
meet
our
energy
future
goals.
So
there
is
a
lot
going
on
in
and
once
Excel
presents,
those
will
be
evaluating
them
and
then
ultimately,
they'll
be
presented
to
council.
So
there's
a
lot
of
work.
That's
going
to
be
happening
in
the
next
six
months.
You.
A
Can
continue
to
follow
the
path
towards
possible,
municipalization
or
other
ways
to
achieve
our
communities,
energy
goals
throughout
the
year
at
boulder
energy
future
calm.
