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. The magic are the four stages throughout the year on the weekends of the solstices and equinoxes. Check the BikeState38 website and the Four Seasons of Horsetooth website for all 4 dates!

Get Women Outside.
We have experienced first-hand the life changing effects of outdoor experiences, and want to offer these same opportunities to women around the world. Add to this the stream of questions from women on social media about everything from which type of hiking shoes to buy for first-timers to which 7-day backpacking trip is the best, and we couldn’t help but try to come up with a solution.
The International Women’s Trail Summit is that solution.
A 2-day outdoor intensive where women can come to be educated and inspired. Where they can grow in confidence and increase their abilities. Where they can network with like-minded women around the world.
Unlike typical conferences, which are on-location an often prohibitively expensive, the IWTS is 100% online.
That means women from all over the world can attend virtually in their sweatpants, from their smartphones, with their kids around, or at their desk at work.
Because the big goal is to Get Women Outside, sessions will
Educate for Confidence
Inspire for Encouragement
Interact for Experience
Classes, sessions, and workshops will cover a wide range of women-powered trail-going activities including
Hiking
Mountain Biking
Cycling Tours
Kayak and SUP
Rock Climbing
Backpacking
Snowboarding
Skiing and Snowshoeing
From what to wear, how to pack, equipment needs, training and nutrition, taking along kids, and negotiating the time to get outside, there will be something for every woman.

We need your voice on February 26!
Save the date–Tuesday, February 26 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.
We will offer a light breakfast and coffee for attendees, legislators and legislative aids. Talking points on the current legislative bills will be provided, but what matters most is you sharing your passion for bicycling with legislators.
For complete details, read this blog post on what to expect.
Public Tours
Public tours are conducted daily on the hour from 9 am to 4 pm. For tour information contact the Tour Office at (916) 324-0333.
