The Bailey HUNDO donated two exercise bikes to Platte Canyon High School at the end of 2012. According to Bailey resident John Gerritsen, president of the HUNDO, the bikes’ value was around $1,200. Mike Schmidt, principal at Platte Canyon, had put in the donation request during the summer.
The core mission of the HUNDO is recreation, said Gerritsen. So the donation of the bikes, with “kids and fitness and cycling grouped together,” is the direction that the HUNDO is moving in, he said. The bikes will be used as part of a rehabilitation regimen for injured athletes, said Schmidt in an email to The Flume. In addition, they will be used as part of the wellness program for district staff, as well as in physical education courses, including a fitness class that is being proposed by Lance Gunkel, a physical education teacher. Schmidt is very grateful to the HUNDO for the donation. “Not only is the event itself a positive for the Bailey community, both in terms of positive exposure for Bailey in terms of financial impact on local businesses, but now we are seeing tangible financial benefits of the event directly to our schools,” Schmidt said. “I am also very appreciative of the entrepreneurial spirit exemplified by the group of people behind the Bailey HUNDO,” he said.
The exercise bikes, which allow for the arms and feet to be moving at the same time, provide a great way to warm up injury-free, said Gerritsen.

Other trail users:
There are other events in the area that we would like you to know about in case you are planning a training ride on the course as a courtesy to minimize user conflicts. Of course areas are still open to the public and you should emphasize the importance of trail etiquette , but a lot of times people would rather avoid the area if they know about the event.
