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.

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.

One of the great things about Colorado is that you can bicycle year-round. Now’s your chance to take on the challenge of Winter Bike to Work Day! Dare yourself to take on the cold temps and unpredictable weather that might come you way. Various Colorado and International communities have observed Winter Bike to Work Day for many years. Riders who pledge to ride have the option to participate in the International Gift Exchange.

SUFFER SO THOSE AFFECTED BY PARKINSON’S DON’T HAVE TO.

The Tour of Sufferlandria is the Greatest Grand Tour of a Mythical Nation in the world. Nine straight days of Sufferfest videos to benefit the Davis Phinney Foundation and their work to improve the lives of those affected by Parkinson’s Disease. Over the last six years the community of Sufferlandrians have raised more than $800,000 for the DPF.

HOW IT WORKS
You do the rides from the relative discomfort of your own home or in a group at one of our Officially Licensed Embassies.

1. Get The Sufferfest App and subscribe. You’ll need it to do the required stages. The cost is $12.99 USD/month or $99 USD/year and you can cancel at any time.
2. Don’t want to Suffer alone? Join The Tour at a Sufferlandrian Embassy near you. We have more than 160 cycling studios around the world licensed to play The Sufferfest videos and there is nothing quite like visiting Sufferlandria with a group.
3. REGISTER: for the Tour by making at least a $10 USD donation to the Davis Phinney Foundation (link coming soon). For every $10 USD you donate, you earn one chance in our killer prize pool (so if you donate, say, $100, you earn 10 chances in our prize pool). Even better: Start a fundraising page and ask your friends to donate to your cause. Each $10 you raise also earns you a chance to win.
4. Want to be a part of the community? Join the Tour of Sufferlandria Facebook Page. It’s the Official Race Village where challenges are made, tales of glory are shared, and prizes are lusted after. Not required, but totally worth it.
5. Ride the video(s) for each stage of the Tour on the day specified.

Started in 1995 by Troy Rarick, co-founder of a fledgling mountain biking and rafting rental store in sleepy downtown Fruita, Colorado had an idea to build a place for people to ride mountain bikes that was not Moab, Utah (no offense Moab, we love you)  The goal of that first festival was a simple one:….. to bring fun friends and MTB enthusiasts to the area, celebrate the sport we love and have a killer time in the process.  Fast forward 25 yrs and Fruita is now a world-renowned MTB destination and that little store, Over the Edge Sports, has grown to 6 locations and planning for more awesomeness in the years to come.  The FFTF has grown right along with it, now typically featuring 50+ vendors and nearly all the major bike MFG’s in the MTB industry.  The goal of the FFTF is to be an amazing but intimate weekend experience to put you and MTB Bike and Industry Companies together.  Buy a pass, demo all the bikes you can handle and decide if it’s time to upgrade or maybe realize that your old bike, the one you thought was perfect for you… still is!  Knowledge is power, come expand your knowledge while participating in some of that still killer fun we mentioned earlier.

Join us for our 2020 Gear Up! Fundraiser!

Our new and improved kick off to the organized ride season takes place Friday, May 8. Join us for a night of celebrating all that bicycling brings to Colorado with friends old and new!

Enjoy great food and drink, and treat yourself and those you love to great gear and experiences with our live and silent auctions–all in the name of better bicycling!
