6th Annual Ned Overend & Bouré Bike Fweest, by Wade Moore

BBF VI
6th Annual Ned Overend & Bouré Bike Fweest
September 14-20, 2008


Boure Bike Fweest VI is scheduled for September 14th to 20th, 2008. These rides are not supported and are for fun. This is not a race, we just want you to join us while we do a week of our favorite Durango rides, during the (usually) warm and dry mid-September. Riders of all abilities are welcome and we have chosen rides that show off the local scenery and variety of terrain. Most rides have longer additions, or short cuts, to match your needs.

We can't force you, but we highly recommend helmets, we will be wearing ours. They are required for the Durango Wheel Club rides. Although we will provide any assistance we can, please be self supporting for road food, water and clothing. If you forget something, the local bike shops are very complete and happy to help.

*Remember that any plan is subject to change due to weather concerns or road conditions.*

The general plan for the week, which is very fluid depending on who shows up and the logistical challenges which may arise (adverse weather, road construction, etc). We have a designated place for breakfast where we will start the ride, but certainly one can be enjoyed without the other.
