MHS MTB team celebrates the stoke …  The Montrose High School mountain bike team recently wrapped up another season. The team, 35 members strong, placed 14th out of 20 teams at a recent Division 1 competition.  But competitions aren't necessarily the entirety of the point with the MHS MTB team. As sophomore Zac Wilkes said, the team is about biking, but also bonds and community.  "I've gotten to grow friendships and make new ones, as well as develop myself through this season," Wilkes said.  According to coach Tony Cimaglio, the MHS mountain bike team is meant to foster an appreciation of the sport — "we want to create lifelong cycling enthusiasts" — and also provide an environment for athletes who excel in a more individualized venue than that of team sports.  "We have plenty of kids that didn't fit into the traditional team sports model," Cimaglio said.  To read more about the MHS MTB team, read this week's story: A tradition of stoke.

Historic Potato Growers Building reopens as a new kind of collective An old ledger found in the historic Montrose Potato Growers Building dates the last use of the old warehouse to 1963, presumably as local restaurants used the cool basement refrigerator to store food. Whether it was a hub for local farmers or storage for local restaurateurs, the building has always been some form of cooperative. Now, after years of work, it will be again, with three food concepts, a bar and two food trucks bringing the space back to life.
