24 days to go

Wed, 2010-05-05 07:57 — Gaige Sippy

Greetings registrants for the 2010 Iron Horse Bicycle Classic. In the past 10 days we have experienced significant technical issues with our web host and email provider. All seems to be working again but if things on our site seemed out of sort or we were slow with email responses that was the primary issue.

We are 24 days from the Train whistle and all is shaping up nicely. For those who are not familiar with the course and profile please visit the Durango Coca Cola Road Race page and click on profile.

For those of you that are already registered, check your email frequently for specific updates. One message was sent today.

IHBC planning is full steam ahead! It takes alot of checklists to get from point A (Durango) to point B (Silverton) and to have events for four days (Reg/Silverton/Crit/TT). Amazing how many people come out of the woodwork to help out, we are thankful for each one of them!!

Should have some pics soon of tour t's for 2010. We received our reusable rider bags today sponsored by FLC Cycling, they look great.

39 days to go!
