The Bailey HUNDO:

The 3rd Annual Senators’ Underground Invitational - June16th, 2012

An Epic Ride Making an Epic Difference!

The Mission of The Bailey HUNDO - a not-for-profit event - is a world-class 100-mile endurance mountain bike race that starts and ends in Bailey, Colorado. Money raised by the HUNDO is invested in youth biking initiatives in Colorado, and used to build new trails in the Platte Canyon area that both serve the local community's recreation needs and develop Bailey into a mountain biking destination.

More background/information:

In the event's inaugural year, race oragnizers will be inviting 150 of the finest mountain bikers from around the state, country and world, to experience our course, which will favor the all-around mountain biker—featuring over 40 miles of singletrack through the Buffalo Creek Trail System and along the Colorado Trail—as well as some challenging climbs on dirt roads and jeep trails! The beta ride will be organized in a self-supported format, and may the best racer win!  The winners of each age bracket will receive one-of-a-kind trophies, made in Bailey, and will not be revealed until the morning of the race!

The Platte Canyon Chamber of Commerce will be pulling out the stops to make this an unforgettable event, providing entertainment in Bailey both the night before the HUNDO, as well as during the dinner and celebration after the race!  The entertainment will be open to the public, not just the lucky 150 HUNDO racers.  This will be the perfect opportunity to rediscover Bailey, which has historically been a favorite close-to-home destination for folks looking to get out of the city!

We need TFK volunteers to help staff a race aid station and do other race-day tasks.  Please contact Andrew Goodwilie to sign up and to find out additional details: 303-725-6723 or agood@tripsforkidsdenver.org
