When Hope Thompson decided to pull up stakes in October 2000 and move from sunny Orlando to sometimes snowy Boulder (elevation 5,340 feet), some of her friends thought she was off her rocker. Turns out, she was off her rocker--and tying on her walking shoes--in pursuit of a more active lifestyle. In Boulder, as in much of Colorado, life is all about the great outdoors. With hundreds of miles of hiking trails and bike paths, extensive rock-climbing opportunities (for the sturdy of limb), skiing, snowshoeing and many other outdoor activities, there's never a lack of ways to decide what to do with the more than 240 sunny days a year.

Boulder, Colorado, a city of just over 100,000 people, is located approximately 30 miles northwest of Denver at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Boulder is home to the University of Colorado, whose 30,000 students swell the city's population during the academic year. Over the years, Boulder has made significant investments in the multi-modal network. The city is now well known for its grade-separated bicycle and pedestrian paths, which are integrated into a network of bicycle lanes, cycle-tracks, and on-street bicycle routes. Boulder also provides an innovative community transit network that connects downtown, the University of Colorado campuses, and local shopping amenities. While the city has no rail transit, local and regional shuttle busses are funded by a variety of sources and emphasize minimal headways, enhanced route identity, easy fare payment, and community input in design (RTD, 2005). Due in part to these investments in pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastructure, Boulder has been recognized both nationally and internationally for its transportation system.

Draft for Lead

The NCAA adopted a drug testing program in 1986, the year after the executive committee formed the Special NCAA Committee on Drug Testing. The drug test ranges from testing player-enhancement drugs to marijuana, and if a student fails a drug test then he or she loses one year of eligibility and is not allowed to compete in events for the first offense. However, not all students are tested because they are selected at random, but students are subject to be tested at any point in the year after the year-round testing program was adopted in 1990. Of the 400,000 athletes competing in the NCAA, around 11,000 drug tests were administered in 2008-09 when the last statistics were available. That number is expected to increase as drugs become more prevalent and easily accessible year by year.
