BIKE ART Florence Bike

By Steve Stauffer

As a painter, I get the incredible opportunity to travel and paint wher- ever the wind may blow! Painting “ En Plein Air “ means, painting onsite and painting from nature and what life puts right in front of me. Like road biking there is no better way to experience a landscape than to put yourself right in the middle of it. My wife and I were on a trip to Italy. We walked out of our motel in Florence to find this incredible scene just outside our doorstep! The moment I saw it, I knew it would be a wonderful painting. Angel’s Hands Foundation has a ride each year and we thought it would be a great way to thank our ride sponsors and staff for assist- ing us each year. The painting was completed and prints were made. If you are interested in one of these prints you can contact us at www. angelshands.org . Prints are $45.00 + $10 shipping and handling. 100 % of the proceeds goes to Angel’s Hands Foundation and the families they support. Angel’s Hands Foundation con- tinues to be one of the most incred- ible blessings in my life. As a current board member, I am inspired and driven by these very special Angels. Each year I do a special painting and create prints for our fundraising. The original painting was auctioned off at our annual “Angel’s Hands Friendraiser”.

FAT BIKE RACING Utah’s Rob Squire Crowned Fat Bike World Champion as the gaggle of riders took off on Crested Butte Nordic Trails with Mt. Crested Butte as the backdrop for a very competitive race. Participants raced 6.5 miles laps that came right through the heart of the Village packed with enthusiastic spectators. Utah’s Rob Squire topped the men’s race over Taylor Sheldon and Travis Brown. Amy Beisel won the women’s race. Despite over 12” of freshly fallen snow, Sunday’s downhill race went off for committed fat bike enthusiasts that chose bikes over skis that morn- ing. There were over 25 riders that experienced the thrill of downhill fat biking at Crested Butte Mountain Resort/EVOlution Bike Park that day. A lucky few even had the oppor- tunity to load the chair lift with their fat bikes despite skeptical looks from confused skiers. Though we anticipated far greater participation during Sunday’s event it was enjoyed by those that were in no rush to get home before the inevitable road clo- sures outside of Crested Butte. The inaugural Borealis Fat Bike Worlds Championships by Odell Brewing was an event packed with excitement from start to finish. It was an unforgettable event for every- one that came out to be part of it, including the organizers. The Crested Butte/ Mt.
