Slideshow: Courage Classic 2012

The Courage Classic is a three-day bicycle tour that’s fueled by individual and team fundraising efforts that benefit Children’s Hospital Colorado.

More than 2,000 cyclists, hundreds of volunteers, sponsors, and friends participate each year. Beginning and ending in Leadville, the 157-mile course through Summit County is one of the most picturesque cycling tours in the state. This year's Courage Classic was July 21st - 23rd.

KUNC’s Robert Leja was part of this year’s ride and shared these photos. You can find more photos from the Courage Classic at their Picasa page.

I’m not a Colorado native (did you know that "I'm from Missouri" means "I'm skeptical of the matter and not easily convinced?") but I have lived here for most of my life and couldn't imagine leaving. After graduating from Colorado State University, I did what everyone wants to do; I moved to the mountains and skied, hiked, and hid from responsibility! Our listeners in the mountains may know me from my time in Steamboat Springs and Vail or as the voice of the Battle Mountain Huskies Hockey team in Vail.
