The 2nd annual Durango
100-Mile Mountain Bike Race
returned to Durango Mountain Resort last weekend. A total
of
100 racers entered in this year’s sufferfest and
competed in one
of three races including 50 kilometers, 100 kilometers,
and 100
miles. The hundred mile race, the event's premier division,
is a
demanding course climbing over 18,000 feet of elevation
and
traveling through some of the most striking terrain in
the San
Juans. Durango’s David Drake posted the fastest
time of the day
finishing the course in 9 hours and 45 minutes. Michele
Keene
tore up the race course and her competition, winning
the
women's pro division in 12 hours and 15 minutes.
