Summary: Shane DeMars joins the show to discuss a new event he organized. The 2012 Boulder Ultra Cross went off last Sunday. The BUC is described on the site: "Ultra cross is not like every day CX. It’s old school! What follows is NOT a race and it is NOT an event. It’s merely my suggestion of what would be a great ultra cross route in Boulder, and the date and time below seems like a good time to do this. If you do choose to do this at that time you’re doing so on your own volition. For those of you not in the know, cyclocross didn’t always have man made barriers and run ups. It used to traverse much rougher ground where streams, logs, ditches and grades too steep to ride were just part of the course. Ultracross (UCX) takes these origins and the longer distance format of the UK’s classic Three Peaks race. Most UCX events are 30-60 miles, but here in the US all of the American Ultracross events are East of the Mississippi. That makes me sad. Distance: 52.5 miles Surface: ~1/3 paved, ~1/3 gravel, ~1/3 more interesting GPS map: Map My Ride version, Garmin Connect Cost: This isn’t a race or an event so it only costs you what ever a normal 50 mile ride costs you – nothing Support: See cost"
