GUNNISON, Colo. (Sept. 9, 2019) – Western Colorado University is excited to announce the return of the BLISTER Speaker Series and welcome Claudio Caluori to campus on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. in the UC Theater.

Caluori is known throughout the bike world and has a unique perspective as a former World Cup Down Hill racer, former team manager of SCOTT bikes and UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Down Hill announcer. He is also the founder of Velosolutions – a global leader in building pump tracks, bike parks and trails.

He will share his experience in the cycling industry as well as his vision for its future. Audience members are encouraged to bring their questions to the presentation. There will be additional opportunities for Western students to engage with Caluori in the classroom and in informal group meetings.
