PikesPeakSports.us inks sponsorship with Carmichael Training Systems Summer of Cycling

PikesPeakSports.us is proud to announce that it has entered into a sponsorship agreement with Sand Creek Sports, Inc., organizer of the 2010 Carmichael Training Systems
Summer of Cycling.

Sand Creek Sports, which is owned by Andy and Kathleen Bohlmann, has organized, promoted and hosted mountain bike and road races for 20 years in Colorado, including some of the first mountain bike races in Colorado Springs.

“This is a real honor for us,” said PikesPeakSports.us site manager/editor Tim Bergsten. “I’ve known Andy Bohlmann since 1996. Anybody who has ever raced a bike in Colorado Springs should buy him a beer because he is a big reason we’re still racing today.”

The Carmichael Training Systems Summer of Cycling is a seven-race series that begins Saturday, May 22, with a mountain bike Race in Palmer Park.

The highlight of the series will be the Carmichael Training Systems International Classic, July 9-11 at Cheyenne Mountain State Park. It offers
nearly half of all UCI points available in the US this year, plus a $10,000 purse
for the elite men and women riders. 

As the final Pro XCT series race, the overall Pro XCT series Men and Women winners will get an automatic 2010 World Championship spot to be announced at this race.  This race is the single most important race in the United
States this year for Elite riders as it is
also a 2012 Olympic Qualification race.

PikesPeakSports.us is a social media website, like Facebook, for runners, riders, hikers, climbers, and all who strive to live a healthful lifestyle. The site was launched earlier this year by Bergsten and Brian McCarrie,
PikesPeakSports.us webmaster.

“This is a perfect fit for us,” McCarrie said. “We’re all about local events and building community. Everybody knows Sand Creek Sports is a key part of the outdoor community in Colorado Springs. We’re excited to be a part of the series.
It’s going to be a great summer of racing.”
