Dear Residents, 

 
Please be aware that the Old Man Winter Rally will be this Sunday, February 4. The attached resident letter was sent out by the organizers to every household, hopefully you have received it. 
 
Please use caution traveling on County Road 83 and Sunshine Canyon Drive on Sunday, with the most event traffic expected between 10:45 AM and 2:00 PM. As always please note that 
SFPD only participates in the planning of the event from an emergency perspective, in coordination with the Sheriff’s Department. However, we do not have the authority to move, cancel, or prohibit an event. 
Our interest is always in everyone being safe and having a good time no matter what mode of transportation they choose. 
 

That being said, it is an event with a leave-no-trace effort, so if there are any issues please record these and let me know so that I can get in touch with the Sheriff’s Office and the event organizers. 


Thank you all. 
 
Regards, 
 
Michael Schmitt

EVENT ADVISORY

Boulder County, February 4, 2024

Dear Neighbor,

This letter is to inform you that the Old Man Winter Rally will be passing through your neighborhood on February 4, 2024.

The event starts and finishes at Bohn Park in Lyons, and riders will choose a 50km ride that takes them east of North Foothills Highway (US 36) as far south as Nelson Road or a 100km ride that extends from the intersection of Nelson Road and the Foothills Highway (US 36) west into the canyons west of Boulder. There will also be a 10km and 5K running race starting and finishing at the same location and passing through Downtown Lyons to Old St. Vrain Road where it returns the same way it came.

All required applications have been filed and a permit has been issued for this event. This is a medium size event and we anticipate 1000 cyclists will participate.

We have worked hard to make sure you will not be inconvenienced by the event. All riders are expected to follow the rules of the road. Those who do not will be disqualified.

On the back of this sheet is a chart showing the times when we anticipate riders will be coming through your neighborhood. There are no road closures and we do not expect traffic delays. This letter is merely a courtesy to let you know the event is taking place.

Please visit our website (http://www.oldmanwinterrally.com) for more information or contact Josh Kravetz at josh@nulladventurefit.com if you have questions or concerns.

Thanks in advance for your support.
