Luckily still in great condition. Show me your Strava and we can arrange a hand-up.

Will be out there in July. I'll bring my cruiser convert 90s MTB. Any fun single track for a rigid 26er?

Hey folks, does anyone know of any introductory classes for bicycle maintenance and mechanics. Can be a one day class, multi day class, I really don’t care. I just want to learn how to properly maintain and work on my bike.

Looking for Local intel / info on places to ride MTB near Granby and Montrose mid June. Ride mostly out of the SE and have ridden a little out in Moab. I saw Granby Ranch, but wondered if its worth it or what else is nearby? Im not into park style riding since our options are limited in the south and we dont have much of that. What would be helpful for a June time ride? Im used to heat/humidity and know how to adjust to elevation. I normally pack a small container bear spray when I ride Pisgah in the summer. Would I need this in CO as well? I ride mostly XC/AM trail systems in the SE.

Anyone else riding Outlaw Gravel at the end of the month in Steamboat? Should be a fun, small event. I signed up for the 66 mile course, which will be a nice ass kicking.

Anyone ridden this section? How sketchy would it be? I’m trying to build a loop and need to connect Standley Lake to C470 and I’d like to take 86th/Hwy72 to 93, then south.

Why do Boulder cyclists insist on riding on skinny shoulders where vehicles are traveling at 60+ mph?

Crash after crash after crash...and every time the cycling community is outraged, as if it wasn't completely avoidable.

How many serious injuries & deaths need to occur before common sense kicks in?

I just got an email from A-Basin about summer activities and with a Summer pass, you get a bike pass (along with all the other stuff, like lift rides and a Via Ferrata tour). Does anyone know more? Does this mean mountain bike shuttles?!

I had in idea yesterday. There is enough cycling in Colorado that it seems like the state could host a crit series. There are enough towns that are familiar with bike racing, and enough bike companies to sponsor it, it seems it should be possible.

My first pass thought for locations? Littleton, Boulder, Aspen, Breckenridge, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction. These would cover a large bulk of the state, allowing a lot of local entries.

With SRAM, Giant, Stages, and more having offices in Colorado, it seems like it should be easier to come by banner sponsors to help cover the series and provide a prize purse. And even minor sponsors from businesses such as Rōl, Primal, etc, it really seems like there are a lot of CO based brands that could get their name out there by being associated with a summer long crit series.

Howdy - I'm mostly a solo cyclist and have been thinking about joining the MS ride, the shortest one. I ride multiple times per week with usually a longer 30-40 mile ride 1x week usually about 13-15mph, so I think I could handle it physically, but really haven't done a lot of group rides. Have had the MS ride in my scopes for a few years now since my best friend was diagnosed with MS and we usually do the walk together - but felt like I wasn't physically able to do it the ride until now.

Before I sign up, I guess I'm curious if anyone has any additional thoughts I should consider before joining in? Like, should I try to join some group rides or work on getting faster and wait til next year? I do have a road bike and it's my primary ride. I think I'm mostly concerned about keeping up, interacting with other cyclists, and possibly getting too hot. Thanks!

It’s been a long time, as in 15+ years, since I’ve had my Look Keo cleats checked for alignment. Any recommendations for a shop in the SE Denver area, I’m in Parker. Any guesses on the cost?

Hi friends! I need your help! Denver Bike Fest is organized by a tiny but mighty team of folks doing this in their spare time (for free) because we love bikes and we love the community they create.

In order to make this special event come to life, I need a lot of volunteers! Whether you want to wrangle bike valet, help with setup/teardown, staff the info booth, or keep the place clean, there are tons of ways to help out.

Most shifts are just 2hrs and maximum 3hrs. Plus all volunteers get a special edition Bike Fest shirt AND a free drink from Cohesion! Thanks in advance 🫶🏼

Has anyone taken a look at the section of the Golden Gravel Trail that runs from Pueblo west to Moab? Was thinking about taking a stab at that this summer….. TIA
