Even though we live in Broncos Country, the sun’s rays won’t be orange all day on Monday, August 21 because of a total solar eclipse at 11:47 a.m. For just a few minutes, the moon will pass between Earth and the sun, completely blocking the sun’s light and bringing temporary darkness. (Unfortunately, Denver won’t witness 100% coverage of the sun.) [Read more…] about Free Broncos Solar Eclipse Glasses at Grease Monkey

We have confirmed there will be a McDonald’s/Broncos key tag available again, this season. (Initially, we thought the deal was only going to be available via the McDonald’s app.) Unofficially, we have confirmed that the key tag will be available in today’s The Denver Post — Wednesday, August 9. (The key tag is usually only available for one day in the paper.) Based on reader feedback, it seems the tag is in papers on the newsstand — not papers delivered to subscribers. Again, we’re only providing a “heads up.” We have no control over their distribution.  [Read more…] about Get McDonald’s/Broncos Key Tag in Today’s Denver Post

New Belgium Brewing is canceling the 2017 Fat Tire Tour de Fat in Denver featuring Capital Cities. Non-profit partners, Bike Denver and the Denver Cruiser ride, will still receive the anticipated funds from Tour de Fat.

The goal was to generate more funds for an even larger number of non-profit partners and to introduce new people to the Tour de Fat experience.

However, this change resulted in format and venue changes for many cities including Denver and there was some push-back from patrons. For those who purchased tickets to Denver’s Tour de Fat, there are two options: [Read more…] about New Belgium Cancels Tour de Fat Denver 2017
