Buffalo Bicycle Classic: September 12, 2010

Aid Stations

What makes the Buffalo Bicycle Classic such a great ride is all the support along the way. There are aid stations about every 10 miles, providing water and food to keep you hydrated and well fueled throughout your ride. Here’s a taste of the menu:

• Fruits, Veggies, and Rudi’s Bread donated from Sunflower Farmers Market
• Energy bars: Lara and BoBo’s bars
• Peanut Butter and Jelly with Great Harvest Bread
• Water: Eldorado Springs
• Sports Drinks: Gatorade, Powerade, and Vitamin Water
• Moe’s Bagles and Big Daddy Bagels
• Bagels, Cookies, Salty snacks
• Dominos Pizzas – Aid Station #2
• KT’s Barbeque sandwich and brownies- Aid Station # 2
• PB&J – Aid Stations #3, #4, & #5
• Turkey and Ham sandwiches – Aid Station #5
• Rush All Natural Bowls (voted Best in Boulder) – Aid Station #9

In addition, several of the aid stations (not all, though) have a bike mechanic, CU sports medicine trainer, maps, and bathroom facilities.

SAG Wagons

Out on the road there are support vehicles circling the various routes. They are ready to stop and lend a hand if you have mechanical problems or other needs. Just signal them—their vehicles are festooned with CU flags.

• CU Alumni Association
• College of Arts and Sciences, Dean’s Office
