28-Mile Marathon Section 1: Start to Dollar Lake: 9 miles and 325-foot elevation gain.

New for 2021, the 28-mile race will begin on Sunday, March 14 at 8:00 am. Racers will start by heading north along the road following the Green River for about 9 miles to Dollar Lake. This section of the course is fairly flat, wide, fast (depending on snow conditions) and easy to follow.  There will be a volunteer at the 13 miler turn around point which is 6.6 miles from the start. There will be no aid, until the Moose-Gypsum intersection station. If you are struggling, this is where you should turn around as it only gets harder from here. This recreation event is authorized under a Special Use Permit with the Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Shoshone National Forest.

28-Mile Marathon Section 2: Dollar Lake to Moose-Gypsum Intersection (Aid Station 1): 4.5 miles and 300-foot elevation gain.

From Dollar Lake the trail continues North and then turns East following the river.  Watch for and enjoy (but do not approach) elk in this area. At no time are racers allowed to leave the trail, this is a protected area. Your actions reflect this race-follow the rules, and respect any and all wildlife you encounter. There will be an aid station here with water and a few basic snacks. Fill up here-you’ll want snacks and stuff before the climb.

28-Mile Section 3: Moose-Gypsum intersection to Gypsum Creek (Aid Station 2): 8.3 miles and 1350-foot elevation gain and 750-foot elevation loss.

Racers will turn right on Moose-Gypsum road, shortly thereafter begins the biggest single climb of the course. Pay attention to your temperature here, do not soak clothes with sweat or the descent to the finish line will be a cold one! Watch for and enjoy (but do not approach) elk in this area. At no time are racers allowed to leave the trail, this is a protected area. Your actions reflect this race-follow the rules, and respect any and all wildlife you encounter. Racers will gain 1200 feet over the next 4.3 miles to the course high point of 9200 feet. Give yourself a pat on the back, it’s downhill from here…mostly. The course flattens out for about a half-mile before starting a gradual 3.5-mile 600-foot descent to the Gypsum Creek Aid Station, only 6.6 miles from the finish.

28-Mile Marathon Section 4:  Gypsum Creek Aid Station to Finish: 6.6 miles and 700-foot elevation gain and 1600-foot elevation loss.

The course stays flat for about a mile before a 400-foot descent and then climbs several hills over 2.5 miles. Don’t think for a second that it’s easy. It’s not. Be sure to layer up for a fast 3-mile 1000-foot descent to the finish line!

The Spring (third) Stage is on! We ask that everyone observe all the safety recommendations when using the parks. The extended period is to allow participants to spread their rides out even more. See Rules page for more info.

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 winter? Bring a friend for the spring 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 in the link below.

• Summer – June 19-22, 2020
• Autumn & Winter – check website

Come out and join us for the first annual Pueblo Classic Steel City road race and Chilly criterium! We’re looking forward to a beautiful race venue in gorgeous Pueblo, Colorado in the heart of the front range. Both a road race and a criterium for a variety of categories, domestic and collegiate

Trip 1: April 29 – May 2
Trip 2: May 6 – 9

Registration opens: January 27th

The Kokopelli Trail was built in 1989 by COPMOBA, a small group of committed bikers who envisioned a single contiguous trail stretching from Colorado to Moab, Utah. It was named for Kokopelli, the magical flute player who wandered the desert and was able to drive back winter according to Hopi legend.

Bikerpelli is a series of two identical annual trips in late April/early May travelling the trail in a unique, intense style we’ve refined since 2002, and represents what we believe is the best way for an experienced biker to enjoy the entire trail in a realistic time frame. The idea is simple – we handle all the details & leave you free to ride for 4 days without having to worry about logistics, camps, meals or emergencies. Just show up with a bike, a tent & your toothbrush & we’ll handle the rest.

Without any additional loops, the Kokopelli Trail covers 142 miles total and limited to the first 90 registrants. The route has evolved thru the years to include several addt’l sections of unforgettable riding, and a couple pieces are commonly skipped for being less fun. We have all the inside info on this & our trips are built with rider’s experience in mind.

Rating the trail’s difficulty is a challenge as the terrain can vary widely from serene, meandering 2wd roads to steep, rocky & technical pieces best hiked thru. 95% of the trail is completely ridable by a strong-intermediate rider with average technical skills and a solid base of endurance training.

Still, this is considered a strong-intermediate to advanced ride and is not recommended for beginners.
