What better place to access lift-serve cross country trails to test your dream bike? Unrivaled mountain scenery, flowy singletrack, and the state’s best wildflowers too. Combine all that with Colorado’s most genuine mountain town with a plethora of lodging and camping options. What’s not to love?

Western Spirit Cycling has partnered with Crested Butte Mountain Resort to provide a summer Outerbike in one of the birth places of the sport. Crested Butte has always been high on the bucket list for hardcore riders, but now the new Crested Butte Mountain Bike Park has something for everyone. Hop on the lift to test the latest and greatest bikes on the classic Crested Butte rides, or ride the fun new trails for everyone at the base area. Repeat as needed. Ride your little heart out, soak up the impressive mountain views, then relax with a tasty beverage at the end of the day. Attendance is capped, so register early to get your spot!

A nice climb up Lefthand Canyon to James Canyon, and a transit of Masonville!

Hundreds of American communities have been successful in increasing bicycle commuting by providing Bike to Work Week and Bike to Work Day events. Bike to Work Day is June 26th STATEWIDE!

40% of all trips in the U.S. are less than two miles, making bicycling a feasible and fun way to get to work. With increased interest in healthy, sustainable and economic transportation options, it’s not surprising that, from 2000 to 2013, the number of bicycle commuters in the U.S. grew by more than 62 percent.

Click the link below for more information on registering, stations/stops, Bike to Work Day T-shirts, creating a group ride and materials.

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.

This relatively gentle 200k will take riders from the glitzy ski town of Vail, along the I-70 corridor and the river front bike path, into Glenwood Springs. With only 4,700′ of climbing the whole day, this is an approachable 200k that is ideal for the novice coming off a summer of riding centuries and the like, who wants to step their riding up to the next level. And it’ll be a fun day for the seasoned rando amongst friends in a relaxed atmosphere.
