Pulling tubes
DuranGO! Outside provides curb-to-curb service between any location in city limits and various recreation areas including: Lake Nighthorse; Oxbow; 32nd and 29th street put-ins; Cundiff Park; Santa Rita Park; High Bridge; Dallabetta Park; Colorado Trail at Junction Creek; Horse Gulch; Dalla Mountain Park; Animas Mountain; Smelter Mountain; and other areas within city limits.
Riders can book a lift using the DuranGO app (found on your phone’s app store or by scanning the QR code on the ad on the back page of this week’s Telegraph.)
Rides will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Bikes and small watercraft, such as tubes and paddleboards, will be accommodated when possible. Well-behaved pets on leashes are allowed.
The service was made possible by a grant from CDOT’s Office of Innovative Mobility with the goal of alleviating congestion at popular recreational areas and expanding access to areas that are not served by the City’s fixed-route transit service.

Speaking of, uh, sacks, don’t look now, but the Speedo is back. For men. We told you not to look. According to an article by Max Berlinger in the New York Times, skimpy swimsuits for men – which they refer to as “briefs” rather than the brand name Speedo or the more crude “banana hammock” or “mankini” – are making a splash this summer.
