27/09/2007
Climb the Canyon 2007 Road Tour and Palo Duro X-treme 2007 Presented by Team Kure www.teamkure.org and benefiting LIVESTRONG, The Lance Armstrong Foundation. October 13 & 14, 2007 Palo Duro Canyon State Park. www.palodurocanyon.com October 13, 2007 Day One Climb the Canyon 2007 Road Cycling Tour Participants have the choice of 2 courses each with 3 ride options: 1. Family/Fun Ride, a 12mile loop inside the canyon. The loop will start at the Amphitheatre Overflow Parking Area on the canyon floor and wind through the park road system and back again to the Amphitheatre Overflow Parking Area. This is a great ride and suitable for most anyone and will start at 8:15am. Participants can choose to make 2 laps (24 miles), 3 laps (36 miles), or 5 laps (60 miles). 2. Climb the Canyon, a 16 mile loop that starts at the entry gate of the state park and descends from the canyon rim to the canyon floor some 800 feet below via the park road system and then passing the amphitheatre and around the Equestrian Loop and returning to the entry gate after making the climb from the canyon floor to the rim. Yes, this ride is challenging for sure but certainly worth the effort, with the ride starting at 8:00am. Participants can choose from 2 laps (32 miles), 3 Laps (48 miles), or 5 laps (80 Miles). This is a SAG supported event, with 3 rest stops covering the course. Bike mechanics will be on hand to assist with quick tune-ups, flats, etc. Camping is permitted in the park; both primitive and RV spots are available. The park also has a few cabins that can be reserved for your visit. October 14, 2007 Day Two Palo Duro X-treme This is an X-treme race comprised of three different events at Palo Duro Canyon State Park. We have designed this race to be fun yet challenging for everyone. The following events will run consecutively, when someone finishes one event they will immediately start the next event. The first participant to successfully complete all three events in the shortest amount of time will be declared the winner. There will be prizes for First, Second, and Third place finishers.
