Basalt/Aspen Cycling Team Moves into First Place:

Congratulations to the Basalt/Aspen Cycling Team on an outstanding performance at the Haymaker Classic in Eagle on September 12. Just two races into the Colorado High School Cycling League season, the team moved into first place in the Division 3 standings.
The team continues to build momentum early in the season with riders competing across varsity, junior varsity, and freshman divisions. Notable performances included podium finishes from teammates in the varsity and JV categories, helping propel Aspen/Basalt from second place into the overall division lead. [
Basalt High School students Kian Sullivan and Henry Ogburn were among the team members contributing to the effort. Sullivan finished 18th in the Varsity Boys race, while Ogburn placed 22nd in the JV Boys division.
The Aspen/Basalt team is part of Roaring Fork Cycling's high school cycling program, which serves student-athletes from throughout the Roaring Fork Valley and emphasizes rider development, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship.
The team will race next at the Spring Valley Scramble at CMC in Glenwood Springs on September 27, and community members are encouraged to come cheer on the riders as they work to maintain their team lead.

Photos and stories from the Outdoor Leadership class's trip to Frying Pan Lakes this weekend.
Despite the small group size (5 students were able to attend), they had a great time and beautiful fall weather! Students gained some map and compass navigation skills, lessons in teamwork, decision making/risk management lessons, and opportunities to lead their classmates throughout the day.
A highlight of the trip for everyone was seeing a bull moose on the second day of the trip. Fortunately, it was quite far enough away that they couldn't get a good photo, but enjoyed watching it snack from a safe distance.
Students taught the teacher a new backcountry cooking method of making "pie" by wrapping a stick in puff pastry dough and cooking it over a fire or stove. Then, once the dough is cooked, slide it off the stick and fill with pie filling! Super delicious!

Fotos y relatos del viaje de la clase de Liderazgo al Aire Libre a Frying Pan Lakes este fin de semana.
A pesar de que el grupo era reducido (solo pudieron asistir 5 estudiantes), ¡lo pasaron muy bien y disfrutaron de un hermoso clima otoñal! Los alumnos adquirieron habilidades de navegación con mapa y brújula, aprendieron sobre trabajo en equipo, toma de decisiones y gestión de riesgos, y tuvieron la oportunidad de liderar a sus compañeros a lo largo de la jornada.
Uno de los momentos más destacados para todos fue ver un alce macho el segundo día del viaje. Afortunadamente, estaba lo suficientemente lejos como para no poder tomar una buena foto, pero disfrutaron observándolo mientras comía desde una distancia segura.
Los estudiantes enseñaron al profesor un nuevo método de cocina en plena naturaleza para preparar una especie de "pastel": se envuelve masa de hojaldre alrededor de un palo y se cocina sobre una hoguera o un hornillo. Una vez cocida la masa, se desliza fuera del palo y se rellena con crema o fruta para pastel. ¡Quedó delicioso!
