From AIS Bulletin #317 April 2000 Introducing BOLDER BOULDER (Magee) TB 30" E & RE. The Bolder Boulder is a top 10K road race. This reblooming beauty reflects many of the same views experienced by the runners, like the rosy glow of the Boulder Flatirons in the standards and styles. The falls are early morning mountain lavender mist, set off by bittersweet roadside wildflowers. Marathon repeating bloom. Acoma X Champagne Elegance. HC '97. $35.00. Long's Gardens.
