Great to see PA and CO representing well in the Top 5

This looks like a great option for zipping around CO: " The Countryman is more crossover than go-kart, with an optional ALL4 all-wheel drive system, an elevated seating position, more ground clearance, and an innovative customizable Center Rail that lets you use the space in between the seats however you see fit, but still retains the classic MINI exterior styling, rounded gauges, and, perhaps most importantly, performance."

At least it was just water in that Yuengling lager bottle http://www.smashingapps.com/2010/01/17/40-stunning-examples-of-high-speed-photography.html

What We're Doing

Where We are Now

After completing seven neighborhood meetings and receiving a couple hundred surveys and comments from neighbors over the past ten months, we have now begun the process of compiling all of this feedback and trying to develop a list of key goals and priorities for the Armory redevelopment. In connection with that effort, we needed to finalize a design team for the project.

We are pleased and excited to report that we have retained The Mulhern Group as the project designer and architect. The Mulhern Group is a leading Colorado design firm specializing in master planning with extensive expertise in designing mixed use communities and town centers.

Our Objective

Our goal is to develop an understanding of the community's vision for the future redevelopment and uses of the Armory site in a collaborative and open forum, giving fair consideration to all voices and opinions. Once a basic vision is identified, we intend to work with City staff, the neighborhood and the community at large to design and implement a redevelopment plan based on that vision.

Although existing comprehensive and sub-community plans and zoning designation for the property must be considered, we recognize that North Boulder has undergone a great deal of change in the past 10-15 years, and it is our belief that it is worth taking a fresh look at the community's vision for the property before bringing forward any specific development plan. if the community's vision requires any changes to the existing regulatory framework, we will seek that through the appropriate City processes.

A Community Based Approach

In late 2007, Armory Redevelopment Partners began a series of collaborative, small group meetings with neighbors and other stakeholders to enlist their ideas and suggestions for the Armory site. This process is now continuing through this web site and through additional small group meetings. we are also working actively with City planners to discuss options and ideas and to identify the best approach for bringing a project forward for formal consideration.

We welcome and would appreciate hearing your ideas and opinions. Please go to our Feedback page to express your thoughts on the redevelopment of Armory. Let's build this neighborhood together!

I would love to see a small market, decent liquor store and affordable food/drink options up in north boulder.... Northern Sun anyone?

What is Centurion Cycling? / News

Centurion Cycling is North America’s most exciting, new bike adventure. It’s based on the European concept of gran fondos but with a distinctive twist unique to this side of the Atlantic.

In Europe, you can ride a gran fondo almost every weekend from March through September. They come in all shapes and sizes and attract riders of all abilities. Often, they are named for celebrated cyclists such as Gran Fondo Eddy Merckx, in Belgium, or for famous courses like the Nove Colli, or “nine hills”, in Italy.

Each Centurion has the look and feel of a European gran fondo. Traffic is restricted, technical and medical support are in the caravan, officials time and judge the event, food is excellent, and riders are treated like professional cyclists. The experience feels like riding in the Tour de France for a day.

What makes the Centurion Cycling brand revolutionary? We take the best of Europe’s storied gran fondos and add our own distinctive highlights. Centurion course distances are set at 100, 50 and 25 miles, challenging riders to develop time goals as runners do with marathons and half marathons. At the end of the season-long series, athletes who qualify compete in a championship event.

Courses are difficult – designed to appeal to the serious, competitive, recreational cyclist. However, our seeding process and a broad range of age and award categories encourage families and riders of all abilities to embrace the challenge. When course and closure conditions permit, we even add a time trial to appeal to individual athletic performers.

The Centurion Cycling series is contested over the most beautiful cycling terrain North America has to offer. Each course highlights the unique cycling in and around the host venue.
