Superior Morgul Bismarck Bike Race
Ever heard of “The Wall”, the “Red Zinger Bicycle Classic”, or “Coors Bicycle Classic”?
The Town of Superior, and local Rock Creek residents are sure to be excited about a revived event that honors these well-known bicycle events which included a famous loop called the Morgul Bismarck. It was even featured in a movie from the mid 1980’s called American Flyers.
There are also lots of great running, walking, and biking trails all through Rock Creek. Did you know that there are almost 30 miles of trails in Superior, Colorado?
If you ride a bicycle, and have ever followed any racing events, you’ll likely at least heard of these bicycling events.
If you’re old enough, you may have even attended or participated in one of them. In its various forms, these classics ran their own course for about a dozen years from the mid 1970’s through the late 1980’s.
I’m hoping that if they’re not already part of the action, Full Cycle Bikes will have an opportunity to show you their stuff at this event. They’re one of the premier bike shops in the area, and I think they have just about anything you might need for biking. IMHO.
Now there’s a new and exciting opportunity to revive some of these memories with a new event called the Superior Morgul Classic Weekend.
February Superior Colorado News
Live in Rock Creek in Superior, Colorado? Then you might be interested to know, if you hadn’t noticed already, that the local Town of Superior newsletter went digital only, and with that change, you won’t see the Superior Sentinel unless you get it online.
I read a copy of the Sentinel recently, and noticed that it included some notes on recent town board actions.
If you’ve been interested in what’s happening in Rock Creek and Superior, you might not get all the news from the Daily Camera (nope, it hasn’t been officially called the Boulder Daily Camera for a long time); and you won’t hear a lot about Superior in the Denver post either.
The “Hometown News” publishers also did away with the weekly free local newspaper that used to land on your driveway every wednesday too. The word was that Superior news would be covered in the Louisville publication. Sounded good, except no one in Superior gets that paper delivered as far as I’ve seen.
Don’t think hard-copy printed news is going the way of the dinosaurs? Wake up and smell the coffee.
Here’s an excerpt from the Sentinel about Superior Town Board actions:
Superior Colorado Home Rule Controversey
The Town of Superior has been toying around with the idea of switching to “Home Rule” recently, and it’s sparked a bit of controversy and even confusion among town residents.
One local Superior resident said, “The Town of Superior Council is pushing for “Home Rule” status. This would allow them (us) to become exempt from many state laws including the ability to add additional taxes and levy’s as the Council see’s fit to do without having a ballot measure as they must do now.”
A quick check with a couple of my contacts on the Town Board came back with a correction to this concern.
Superior Real Estate Market Report 10/2009
The Superior Real Estate market is still remaining a steady and worthwhile investment overall, and with low interest rates, I think it’s a fine time to buy in Superior.
With relatively low inventory numbers (number of homes for sale), and an even market, if it’s time for you to sell, that’s good too, because there are serious buyers out here right now ready to make offers.
If Superior isn’t in your list of choices, consider these: a beautiful two-bedroom mountain home for sale near Jamestown, a Short Sale property in Broomfield, and a rarely available vacant lot for sale next to the new community park in Louisville.
Now, here’s the recent statistics for Superior, Colorado real estate and sold homes for October:
Conoco Phillips Comes To Louisville
It’s now official, Conoco Phillips will begin constructing its global training and new energy research and development facility at the former StorageTek / Sun Microsystems campus in Louisville Colorado. This is big news for Superior, Louisville, and Broomfied for sure!
ConocoPhillips has submitted plans to Louisville Colorado city officials, and the expectation is that ConocoPhillips will open the first phase of the project — as much as 1.6 million square feet of the new facility — by 2013.
Think this isn’t a big deal yet? I hope you follow the positive impact we’ve been talking about on the local economy. In it’s hay-day, Storage Tek employed about 4000 workers. When the third and final phase of the ConocoPhillips facility is fully up and running, ConocoPhillips’ own reports say they expect to employ approximately double that number of people.
What about all the ancillary jobs due to construction, associated businesses’ growth, and the big topic that hits most of us: housing prices?
