Historically, the last week in April and the first week in May are the slowest weeks of the year in Breckenridge. With the ski season behind us, many seasonal workers moving on, and others taking that well-deserved vacation, many businesses even close down until town picks up again around Memorial Day.
What started out as a gleam in our eye has grown into a staple on the Colorado mountain bike racing calendar. Why the 4th? Because absolutely nothing athletic was happening in our town. Sure Scott Yule, Mike Zobbe, Ellen Hollinshead, Monique Merrill, and a host of other local mountain goat legends were bagging a 14er, skiing 4th of July Bowl on Peak 10, or riding their favorite epic. But nothing organized was happening.
