A google search indicates there is water available at the base of Waterton Canyon, but I'd like to confirm. We're visiting family in the area this weekend and we're planning a longer ride. I'd prefer taking 2 bottles and refilling vs. wearing my Camelbak. TIA.
Hello! I'm signed up for the 76 and Banana Belt in September, and I'm considering using the same bike for both. I've got a Salsa Cutthroat with 2.4" tires (Mezcals, but I could even swap to something burlier) and a 110mm SID. I ride it on lots of singletrack here in Boulder, though mostly more tame stuff (like BVR / North Sky).
I'm not familiar with the trails in Salida, but I'm wondering if I could get away with the Cutthroat on the Banana Belt trails or if I'd just be constantly feeling underbiked and sad. I also have a Pivot 429 Enduro, which is a hoot, but honestly I've hardly ridden it this year and I feel most at home on the Cuttie.
Worth noting I absolutely do not care about my results; on my best days I'm mid to back of the field.
Any info if this is happening this year? Website is 404 error, can’t find anything anywhere else. It would be my first foray into cyclocross and I was looking forward to it.
Trying to decide between doing Rad Dirt Fest in Trinidad next month or Grassroots Gravel in Pueblo early October. Anyone done both and have opinions on which they prefer?
For Denver area front range
Trailforks/MTB project are pretty unpredictable, and rarely show up to date checks.
FB groups are a smidge better, but still not too reliable.
Im a bigger guy, so when someone says “a little wet” and I show up 210 + a bike, I usually always am leaving some deeper tracks and turn back.
I usually ride VCMP, Lair/Baga, and other nearby trails. I just hate being that guy and messing up trail crews.
Places like Ruby hill, valmont, and Erie single track post up to date status fairly regularly. so this is usually who I base ”the rest of trails” off of. But it is not as accurate as you could imagine.
Just moved to Wash Park, looking for people to road bike with!
What is everyone's favorite road rides?
Building up my Gravel for rides in a few weeks too!
Looking to start planning for 2027. Planning on doing triple bypass and am looking for a possible ride back from the finish to either boulder or Denver area. I live in mn but come out to Colorado usually at least once a year to bike and would love to do this one next year. Any help and thoughts would be great. Thanks.
finally upgraded my bike. Looking to get rid of my old trek mountain track 800. Anybody know somebody in need of a starter bike, or somewhere i can donate it to good use? I guess i could sell it, but right now i value the space in my garage more than the $.
my plan B is to put it somewhere downtown and let it return to nature
Hey everyone! It's year 2 of working together with Primal Wear to host a charity/fundraising ride for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Denver on September 19th.
The ride will take off at 10am from the Primal HQ at 7700 Cherry Creek S Dr #106, Denver, CO 80231 and will be NO DROP! (We promise).
The ride is 100% free, but if you want to support St. Jude, we're asking for a $25 donation in exchange for a swag bag including things from Primal, St. Jude and the fundraising team I run, Kilometers 4 Kiddos (I promise, it'll be worth it!). It also lets us know how many people to expect on the ride. To donate, scan the QR code on the image or go here: https://tilt.fyi/Gh6i3paXKT\
If you'd like to join but not donate, we have a separate form to make sure we have the coffee and bagels to support everyone! https://forms.gle/FaG8Uar7H3WK2wAm7
We'll have a couple of things on tap to help set the vibe!
Let me know if you have any questions. We'd love to see you all out there!
Thinking of doing Rad Dirt Fest in Trinidad. Anyone ever done it? Looking at the Dolores course. I did Desert Gravel 100 mile course so a plus if you’ve done both and can compare the two on difficulty and course conditions. There is a helpful YouTube video on the website but thought I’d ask for feedback. Thanks!
Hi, since I just came to the us, do you guys know any people to ride with that are like juniors. Like, people that are 15-18 aged and are really good so I can train with them.
Considering a ride from Boulder to Grand Lake, via Ward, Allenspark/Estes, and Trail Ridge.
I've done the first and last thirds of this ride, but have never ridden Ward to Estes via Peak to Peak and Hwy 7.
Can anyone shed any light on Ward to Estes? looking for info like road conditions, safety, traffic levels, and even suggested places to stop and refuel.
Hey all, can anyone recommend a bike shop for repairs, service, tires etc near or in the general vicinity of Westminster? Looking on Google maps but seems kinda lacking in the area. I have two Specialized mountain bikes I need to get rolling again. Thank you!
Hello, I’m gonna be a u-17 cyclist next year and I was wondering if anyone knows any teams that race on national level or even international in Colorado. I just came like a week ago to Colorado. And another thing to add, I just came from Spain.
Can anyone recommend a Denver bike shop that fits tubular tires? My usual go-to's* have said they're not able to.
*I haven't called yet but I bet Vecchio's in Boulder will--I just don't want to drive there if I don't have to.
