Organized Events: Mountain Bike

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.

The Grand Enduro will challenge you on three demanding stages in and around Grand Junction’s Lunch Loops trail system. For those unfamiliar, the nature of these trails is very technical and require expert handling skills as well as solid fitness.

What to expect:

• Chunky, desert terrain that’s hard on body and equipment – bring sturdy tires and spare tubes!

• Stages will lose significant elevation, but lack sustained steeps – be ready to pedal! However, this is no XC race, so bring your well equipped all-mountain bike. You’ll hate it on some of the punchy, short climbs but wish you were on an even bigger bike at some points!

• All stages feature at least a few “moves” – sections of trail that are particularly precarious. Where possible we’ll have go-arounds, however these will generally cost you time! Pre-riding all stages is definitely recommended and required for stages 1 and 3.

• 25-40 minutes of racing over 7.2 miles of trail. 2.5-4 hours of total ride time covering ~23 miles.

The Greater Grand Junction Sports Commission, and the Downtown Grand Junction Partnership welcome all participants to the Grand Junction Off-Road!

Riders will climb their way out of downtown Grand Junction onto the Uncompahgre Plateau, while connecting some of the area’s favorite technically challenging singletrack, double track, gravel roads and the occasional paved segment in the world-famous Lunch Loops trail system and beyond.

During your visit to Grand Junction, enjoy three days of festivities in the Downtown Music Festival while being submerged in the mountain bike industry. Mingle with bike-minded people and the Grand Junction community while enjoying the area’s wine country and its appreciation for the outdoor enthusiast.

Bonus: All Finishers receive an engraved stemless wineglass emblazoned with the distance they’ve finished, 3-days of outstanding free live music at the Downtown Grand Junction Music Festival and the comfort of its meandering main street engulfed by industry expo + beer garden waiting at the finish for all Off-Road participants…this is one finish line worth achieving.

The ‘Grand’ has a 95% finish rate. Technical? Yes. But attainable, too.

Come join us at the Royal Gorge Six and Twelve, just outside of Cañon City, CO! This is a 6- and 12-hour endurance competition that is held at the Royal Gorge Park. This is our first event ever in CO, and we struck the jackpot using Cañon City as a venue. The town is undiscovered, completely supports the event, and there is tons of fun stuff for families to do in the area with the Royal Gorge Bridge just minutes away. Also, did we mention that Cañon City has a professional trail builder who adds new trail all the time? So you know you are going to get some killer riding. This course is an intermediate 9.8 mi. loop that is completely singletrack. Bring your crew and camp for the whole weekend at the Royal Gorge East Ridge Campground, or just come for the race and take in beautiful views of snow-capped peaks and the Arkansas River Gorge while riding. Whatever you choose, we hope to see you in this charming town!

No license required. Distances for all abilities and ages, including the 3-person Relay Team discipline.  The venue at Pelican Point offers an intimate setting for racing action and spectating.  Expo village with product sampling and the free Warriors Kidz race.

THREE DAYS, 90 MILES, ONE MOUNTAIN BIKE AND YOU!

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 Spring? Bring a friend for the Summer 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.

Greetings and welcome to the 2021 Firecracker 50, presented by Lincoln Park at the Wellington Neighborhood! This year’s race is on July 4th! It’s always on the 4th…no matter what day of the week it falls!
The Firecracker 50 is non-sanctioned. A license is not required.

Need a nice challenge? Then forget this one. It’s nasty. Cut the Leadville Trail 100 MTB in half, remove all the easy parts, throw in technical descents, burning lungs and wild animals and you’ll have a good understanding of what you’re about to get into.

50 miles that will put your skills and endurance to the test. Technical climbs and descents are met with the glorious mountain views of Leadville. 8,000 feet of elevation gain over these 50 miles presents an excellent test for the Stages Cycling Leadville Trail 100 MTB in August. Test your limits with the Silver Rush 50 MTB.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Cycling announced USA Cycling National Championships schedule. Riders from throughout the country will compete to win one of over 600 Stars and Stripes jerseys in their respective categories with racing spanning coast-to-coast.

The schedule starts in early April this year with National Championships being contested almost every month in junior, collegiate, amateur, elite, and master categories.

“Every year, the USA Cycling National Championships brings together the best athletes in the country who have spent all year preparing for their chance to wear the Stars and Stripes jersey and win a national title. What we love about bringing these national championships to life is that they are not only an opportunity for riders to compete on the national stage, but it brings the host cities and cycling community together,” said Chuck Hodge, USA Cycling Chief of Racing and Events. “2019 was an impressive year watching our athletes inspire us across all disciplines. We are excited to return in 2020 to some amazing venues as well as introduce our community to some new and exciting destinations and are looking forward to the thrilling races ahead.”

Due to the Cameron Peak fire, we’ll be starting and stopping in Walden CO, our historical second night stop. But don’t worry…we’re still stopping in Steamboat Springs. The new route uses the best of past Rambles, and just as challenging and tough: long days, heat, climbs, elevation. Leaving Walden and heading north, we’ll revisit the “OG” route, before looping back towards Independence Mountain with it’s expansive North Park views. From there into the Medicine Bow NF, around the Zirkel Wilderness for a day, and then to Steamboat Springs for a third night camp. Our last day is up and over Buffalo Pass back to Walden. Now 258 miles and 23K of climbing over four days, if you are looking for a challenge, this is it. But with big challenged come big rewards. It’ll be a ride you’ll talk about for a long time.

NOW A FOUR DAY ADVENTURE. The original Ramble, the Steamboat Ramble travels through the Roosevelt, Medicine Bow, and Routt National Forests. On the route, we’ll travel through stunning landscapes, grand vistas, and desolate backdrops.

The ride starts and ends in Walden CO. 258 miles, 23,270 ft of climbing. 

On the Ramble you get:

• 4 days of amazing riding in Colorado. Approximate daily mileage: 65/65/70/60.
• Kickoff event the night before the ride start.
• 4 days of food. Breakfast and Dinner at camp (special diets accommodated). Lunch items on the road. Ride food is provided.
• Full route support.
• Camping for each night on the ride with camp activities.
• Exclusive discounts and products from our partners.

• Shuttle back to Fort Collins on Sunday (July 18) AM. 

Back again in 2021, Winter Park Sunrise to Sunset capitalizes on two well-established strengths: the Sunrise to Sunset model and Winter Park’s deep mountain-bike roots. Luscious singletrack trails crisscross the mountains of Winter Park. How good are they, you ask? Good enough that USA Cycling is hosting the National Championships on the Winter Park trails once again for a second year in 2021.

Ideal for a 12-hour relay format, the section of trails used in Sunrise to Sunset are just above town, making access and relaxation between laps super easy. Winter Park Sunrise to Sunset will be held in conjunction with Crooked Gravel, so at day’s end riders of both persuasions will be partying together at the bandshell and surrounding park.

The 12-hour format is all about balancing camaraderie and challenge. Sure, some folks race it solo, but most choose to race in teams, from two-person up to five-person squads. As one teammate is out on course, banging out a 9.4-mile hot lap, the others are kicking back at camp, enjoying the festival atmosphere in the cool, high-mountain air.

While some events cater specifically to beginners or experts, Sunrise to Sunset offers fun for all; the level of challenge is self selected by how fast you go!

Resort Information

The BME returns to Winter Park / Trestle Bike Park again in 2021, which is consistently ranked as one of the best bike parks in North America. Taking place on Saturday, August 14th, this ever-popular event will blend high altitude racing mixed with rugged terrain and big descents.

Riders will be challenged to 1 day of racing that will push the athletes to the utmost and keep them on their toes at all times. Racers can expect 4 legitimate stages for the single day race. No tech support or aid stations will be provided on course. The BME sponsor and vendor village will be located in the base village, where tech support and race teams will be located.

Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up; The Breck Epic. Back to the beginning. When mountain biking was a about big rides with friends. About lending a hand when a rider went down. About a shared experience that somehow, flying in the face of all logic, disproportionately enriched all involved.

The Epic is composed of 6 BIG backcountry loops (3 loops for the 3-day Epic-curious events), each between 35 and 50 miles long. The event is unique in that it employs a cloverleaf format; each loop starts and finishes within a mile from downtown Breckenridge and utilizes the sprawling network of trails in both Summit and Park Counties. When mapping out the courses we asked ourselves; “What big rides would we want to tackle if we had most of the day to slaughter and 6 of our best friends?” The answer lies before you. The six stages that compose the Epic are a well-rounded rider’s dream. Long rhythmic climbs followed by endless descents that make your smile muscles hurt.

In a bizarre way, we have the assorted governing bodies to thank. Mountain biking seemed like an afterthought for many, many, many years. We’ll grant that that’s changing and it’s important to acknowledge that that doesn’t happen with someone pushing it from the inside. But the unintended result of being redheaded step-childed for a decade-and-a-half is 6-day race in Breckenridge, CO that lives among a small but thriving handful of kick-ass bucket-list races.

The race is rad. The courses are beyond fun. The vibe? Mid-90’s mayhem. If that sounds like your cup of tea, come join us. We’ve got great people in a great town with courses that you’re gonna need to ride to believe. What else do you really need?

There are always riders asking for more. Summer Ramble Plus, as the name implies it’s the Summer Ramble plus an extra day of riding. The new route uses the best of past Rambles and a lot of new ground. Challenging and tough: long days, heat, climbs, elevation. Leaving Walden and heading north, we’ll revisit the “OG” route, before looping back towards Independence Mountain with it’s expansive North Park views. From there into the Medicine Bow NF, around the Zirkel Wilderness for a day, and then to Steamboat Springs for a third night camp. Our last day is up and over Buffalo Pass back to Walden. Now 258 miles and 23K of climbing over four days, if you are looking for a challenge, this is it. But with big challenged come big rewards. It’ll be a ride you’ll talk about for a long time.

NOW A FIVE DAY ADVENTURE. The original Ramble, the Steamboat Ramble travels through the Roosevelt, Medicine Bow, and Routt National Forests. On the route, we’ll travel through stunning landscapes, grand vistas, and desolate backdrops.

You can expect this ride to be even more intimate with fewer riders than our other adventures. If you’re looking for something new to challenge you in 2021, this is it.

The ride starts and ends in Walden CO. 341 miles, 27,534 ft of climbing. 

On the Ramble you get:

• 5 days of amazing riding in Colorado and Wyoming.
• Kickoff event the night before the ride start.
• 5 days of food. Breakfast and Dinner at camp (special diets accommodated). Lunch items on the road. Ride food is provided.
• Full route support.
• Camping for each night on the ride with camp activities.
• Exclusive discounts and products from our partners.
• End-of-ride dinner and party.
• A personal tour of the Moots Cycles facility in Steamboat Springs (COVID permitting).

This ride is among our most difficult over the 5 days. Are you ready? Space is limited on this event. You’re going to be challenged.

50 miles, 6,000′ elevation gain

The Lake City Alpine 50 Endurance Mountain/Gravel Bike Race starts in beautiful Lake City, Colorado, a small mining town located in the heart of the San Juan Mountains at 8,671 feet, and will follow the iconic Alpine Loop back to Lake City. The race distance will be a little over fifty miles and will include over 7,500 vertical feet of climbing. The race will head south out of Lake City on Highway 149 to some fun single track traversing the Lake City Ski Hill. The single track will continue along the Lake to Lake trail above Vickers Ranch and will head by the Legacy Lodge before exiting onto Hinsdale County Road 30 leading to Lake San Cristobal. Lake City’s namesake was formed by a rare natural earthflow called the Slumgullion Slide, which blocked the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, creating the second-largest natural lake in Colorado and one of the most beautiful lakes in the entire state of Colorado.

After about four miles, the course will then head onto Hinsdale County Road 33, a dirt road located on the East side of Lake San Cristobal. Be on the lookout for moose, osprey, and bald eagles as the sun starts to cast its rays across this gorgeous lake. Crossing the bridge over the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, the course heads back on Hinsdale County Road 30 skirting the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River for the next approximately sixteen miles before the climbing starts to get tough. Along the way, you will pass by three 14,000-foot peaks (Handies, Sunshine, and Redcloud) and various abandoned mining towns (Carson, Sherman, and Burrows Park). You will also catch views of American Basin, a stunning wildflower wonderland and one of the most photographed places in Colorado. For the next two miles, your lungs will be tested as you approach the top of 12,640-foot Cinnamon Pass.

You will then descend from Cinnamon Pass for about two miles into Animas Forks (11,200 feet), a ghost town, but once a bustling mining town and one of the highest mining camps in the Western United States. After Animas Forks, for the next four miles you will ascend the steep backside of Engineer Pass (12,800) before making a nearly nineteen-mile fast descent along Henson Creek, which includes passing through another ghost town, Capitol City (named because its founder had hopes of the town becoming the capital of Colorado), Nellie Creek (which leads up to 14,016-foot Wetterhorn Peak), the once booming Ute-Ulay Mine and Mill, and then back to Lake City to finish the race in Lake City’s Town Park.

Join us for a fun day of trail running and mountain biking at Cheyenne Mountain State Park! Challenge yourself to race the entire course solo or as a two person relay, all while helping support Kids on Bikes!

11 Mile Course – 2M RUN, 6.5 MTN BIKE, 2M RUN (great for beginners!)

18 Mile Course – 3.2M RUN, 11.2 MTN BIKE, 3.2M RUN

Due to the Cameron Peak fire, we’ll be starting and stopping in Walden CO, our historical first night stop. Changes this year will be to the benefit of the Fall Ramble as we’ll be staying at a higher elevation and spending more time in the timeframe for peak Fall colors. A little fewer miles than our Summer rides, but challenging all the same, especially with cooler weather and less light at this time of year. It gets darker sooner, so camps have more campfire time, and the fewer daily miles means riders aren’t as whipped when they come in. It’s a lot of fun.

Are you ready for some amazing Fall foliage, golden Aspens, and cooler riding weather? Traveling through the Routt and Medicine Bow National Forests, as a 4-day adventure, we’ll be riding through stunning landscapes, grand vistas, and desolate backdrops

The ride starts and stops in Walden CO. 224 miles, 17,500 ft of climbing. 

On the Ramble you get:

• 4 days of amazing riding in Colorado. Approximate daily mileage: 60/70/50/40.
• Kickoff event the night before the ride start.
• 4 days of food. Breakfast and Dinner at camp (special diets accommodated). Lunch items on the road. Ride food is provided.
• Full route support.
• Camping for each night on the ride with camp activities.
• Exclusive discounts and products from our partners.
• End-of-ride dinner and party.
• A personal tour of the Moots Cycles facility in Steamboat Springs (Covid permitting).
• Shuttle back to Fort Collins on Sunday (Sept 26) AM.

This ride is the most approachable of our Colorado events and designed for riders looking to spread out the fun over a challenging course. Are you ready?

Come ride with us.
