Save the date for the 2018 Bicycle Colorado Gala!

When: Friday, April 27, 2018!

VIDA is returning to Valmont in 2018 for a 1-Day Workshop. The format is perfect for women wanting to brush up on a specific technique or acquire a completely new skill. Complete beginners are also welcome, and will receive a great intro to helpful riding fundamentals from VIDA’s highly qualified coaches.

Valmont Bike Park has been a cornerstone to the VIDA clinic schedule, and this year will offer a one-day clinic in conjunction with the Sports Garage Front Range Demo Day. Participants will have access to the full gamut of vendors to test bikes and gear as they session features and tracks in a small-group format throughout the park.

Bike Travel Weekend and Bike Your Park Day are fun and easy, and they help get people outside and on bikes. There’s no cost to you or your participants (unless you want to charge a fee to participants to cover your costs). The initiatives help create community connections, promote destinations, and can boost local economies. You can participate in Bike Travel Weekend and Bike Your Park Day through your own programming or you can partner with other groups.

ABOUT THE EAGLE OUTSIDE FESTIVAL

Launched over a decade ago, the Eagle Outside Festival was created to showcase Eagle’s authentic western slope flavor, spectacular mountain setting, incredible quality of life, climate, friendly community vibe, dining, craft brewing scene, and its incredible trail network. The 100+ miles of trails accessible right from downtown are the star of the event. Spanning three climate zones – from high desert to high alpine – and accessible directly from town.

Our festival celebrates active mountain culture. Come enjoy free bike and gear demos from the industry’s top brands, race Enduro or XC, demo dirt bikes, join a fun run, listen to live music, do yoga, go fly-fishing and/or experience the new Eagle River Park for some boating. Celebrate into the night with the signature Bonfire Block Party, a street party with national touring musicians, and craft beer all located right downtown.

There is something for everyone here in Eagle June 1-3. We invite you to Discover New Terrain in Eagle, Colorado.
