Romp through the woods in a new way this winter! Whether your goal is to try something new, wake up your biking legs, keep your skills fresh, or learn some new ones, this beginner friendly ride through the woods is a great introduction to the sport of fat biking. Salsa Mukluk fat bikes equipped with 5″ wide tires, winter specific biking gear, tips and tricks for winter riding, and warm beverages are provided. Conditions vary significantly throughout the winter and we will be riding “snow or no” on bikes that allow us to enjoy mountain biking in all seasons!

Colorado welcomes the best from Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Arizona, and New Mexico to battle it out at Sandstone Ranch Cyclocross. This event is a joint production between Watts Marketing the producer of the famed Cross Vegas and Without Limits Productions of the CYCLO X Series. The course takes us to Sandstone Park in Longmont, Colorado.
The battle ground consists of tight grass, fast flowing pavement, sidewalk transitions, run ups, and even more grass to showcase those off camber technical skills!

Event Details
The Four Seasons of Horsetooth Mountain Bike Challenge is a grass-roots un-event with no entry fees and no real start times and is ridden on the two solstices and two equinoxes in Horsetooth Mountain Park and Lory State Park. By being required to complete at least three seasonal stages, we hope it encourages you to come ride if your schedule doesn’t permit on any given stage. The course is designed to offer what we think are the best sections of trail in our backyard. The course should take about 2-3 hours. Had fun in the autumn? Bring a friend for the winter stage! Don’t own a fancy team kit or 20lb race bike? Neither do we! Come ride for the fun and challenge of completing all four events! Check out the rules here.

You read it right bro… An enduro… With fat bikes… On snow!
Time to bust out your pogies, ski goggles, frost proof dropper posts, and fleece lined knee pads, because it’s about to get fat. Awesome 17 mile singletrack loop with four timed stages. Could be packed powder, could be ice. Could be 6″ wide packed trail with deep powder on the side, could be some rocks and roots showing. Will definitely be a fun day rolling your fatty with like minded fat feinds.

Ready to learn how to prevent or eliminate these annoyances from your beloved bike? Join REI’s expert bike techs for a workshop on how to care for and maintain your bike’s derailleurs and chain. We’ll tune derailleurs, adjust barrel adjusters, and diagnose common chain issues. Along the way, you’ll learn best practices for care and cleaning with plenty of get-your-hands-dirty chances to practice. Bring your own bike or practice on one of ours.

We need your voice on January 23!
Save the date–Thursday, January 23 from 8-10 a.m.–and join us at the Colorado State Capitol to advocate for better bicycling in the state and be a part of democracy in action.
Bills to improve bicycling and increase transportation options are moving through the state legislature and your voice is needed more than ever. The legislative session only runs through May, so now is a critical time to show up and speak up. Do it for yourself, your kids, your riding buddies and individuals who can’t be there.
This is your chance to share with legislators how important better bicycling and safer streets are to you.
For complete details, read this blog post on what to expect.
