Durango's Shonny Vanlandingham - 2010 Xterra World Champion



Shonny Vanlandingham is a World Champion

Vanlandingham, a longtime Durango resident, climbed to the top of the world’s podium in Hawaii last weekend when she won the 2010 Xterra World Championship on Maui.

“This is my third year on the Xterra circuit, and I made it my goal, although it was a lofty goal, to win the championship in my third year at the age of 41,” Vanlandingham said on the Xterra World Championship website.

Vanlandingham also is a primary figure in a major fundraising effort at Mercy Regional Medical Center in Durango.

David Bruzzese of Mercy has been working with Vanlandingham on a campaign to raise funds for mammogram screening at the Mercy Regional Breast Care Center.

Mercy is offering Shonny Vanlandingham Signature Series cycling jerseys for sale online. The cycling garment is the follow-up jersey to a jersey that was named the “Jersey of the Year” by Bicycling Magazine.

“Shonny takes the time to help her local community. We really appreciate that,” Bruzzese said.

From her standpoint, Vanlandingham said: “I was honored to be a part of it.”

I Took a Bike Ride the Other Day - Scott Smith

I Took a Bike Ride the Other Day

I took a bike ride the other day
The fall air was crisp but still OK
The leaves on the road under my tires
Crackling like hot roaring fires

I took a bike ride the other day
Alone with my thoughts far away
The solitude of a late season ride
No pace lines or bikes at my side

I took a bike ride the other day
Couldn’t wait to spin without delay
Down the road without a care
Another thirty miles if I dare

I took a bike ride just today
I’m addicted - what can I say

The Men's Mountain Bike Team also won.

The National Collegiate Championship winner is determined by adding the points for the Men's AND Women's teams over 4 days of racing: Cross Country, Short Track, Downhill, and 4x Slalum (think 4 folks racing downhill at the same time, on the same course, with carnage).

Congrats to the team, their Coach Matt Shriver, and their Team Manager Dave Hagan.
