DURANGO, Colo. -- Durango's annual Squawker home race weekend brought together Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cycling Conference teams and local legends for an unforgettable few days. This year, the weather was on our side, creating ideal conditions for both racing and spectating. 

Saturday featured the downtown criterium and block party. The races were fast, technical, and highly team-driven. It was awesome to see the community come out to spectate, cheer, and race. Durango's strong community is one of the many things that makes it so special, and this event was a great way to bring everyone together. A big thank you goes out to all of our volunteers—this weekend wouldn't have been possible without them.
