Fort Lewis College cycling director Dave Hagen watched a flock of FLC cycling alumni gather Friday for an alumni ride. The cycling team has organized the ride for several years on the morning before the annual Iron Horse Bicycle Classic with so many alumni returning to their roots of cycling in Durango. The FLC cycling program has won 24 national championships in its history across all disciplines and, much like the IHBC, has helped grow the cycling culture that permeates Durango.
