Is there anything I can do about a motorist that almost ran me over on the road today? I have a pic of their license plate but no footage. My word against theirs…

Was in my bike lane, extra wide car turn, would have plowed into me had I not slammed on breaks

First big ride on my custom Lauf. Boreas Pass on 10/13/26, got lucky as one day later it was under snow! Rode from Breck to Como and back. Honestly an amazing and beautiful ride!

We run a weekly gravel group ride out of CyclErie Bike Shop in Old Town Erie (515 Briggs St). This Sunday, Oct 18, we roll at 7:30 AM sharp toward Hygiene.

• Strava route
• This ride is for experienced gravel riders. Expect a steady pace and real miles on mixed surfaces.
• Come self-sufficient: bring your own water, fuel, and flat kit, and be able to fix your own mechanicals.
• It's free. First-timers fill out a quick Group Ride Waiver before rollout.

Questions about the route or pace? Ask in the comments. See you Sunday.

I had a friend who was finishing up the 14ers so I decided to ride around the mountain instead of hiking it. Fun day for it, some snow up high, a slog of a climb up the 4x4 road. The descent almost made the climb worth it. Anyone else suffered on this loop? Not sure I'd volunteer to do it again. GPX - https://pedalai.bike/r/JJU151Wi

This weekend and next, Old Fall River Road is closed to vehicles and open to bikes and pedestrians only. Closed during the week for maintenance.

Highly recommend the trip if you can, always cool to get a little car free slice of a National Park to ride up. The road was busy with cyclists today, great to see!

Edit; you have to get there before 9am if you want to drive in and park without a reservation. You can ride into the park without a reservation (still a fee, $15 by bike I think, or free with your park pass) if you park at a ranger/visitor station or park in Estes.

Actually kinda normal. Rain moved in around 1pm in Estes. Happy to get a bit wet for a change.

Question in the title, I consider myself a decent MTB rider. Done plenty of downcountry or trail riding across Colorado but never anything close to proper enduro. I also only have a light trail bike with 130/120 travel. I tried GZA yesterday but that was a bit above my pay grade. Especially the super steep and loose sections. Ive seen old trailfork reports of Bon Scott being great, but newer reports saying it's unmaintained super rocky and barely rideable.

Is there something people would recommend as a first dip into gravity at lefthand?

I’m sure this 50 mile gravel perimeter loop of buff creek has been posted before, but conditions were prime yesterday.
I had to share!

Going to the west side of the state for the first time this weekend. Only going to be able to ride once on Saturday morning.
If you had to pick one intermediate trail around the area which would it be?
Looking for 6ish-10 miles
Prefer flowy over tech

TIA!

Ridden 1,500 miles in a year. Feeling good. Ride on!

We lucked out with some amazing weather yesterday. Traffic on the way back was a little rough but worth it! https://ridewithgps.com/trips/417776210

Looking for some folks to hang with at Grassroots this weekend. I’ll be riding the lil chili. Potentially going to camp out the night before. I have no plan on riding hard, especially since I got pretty sick last week. So just going to take it easy and enjoy the scenery.

A lil about me: I’m male, 29, have just gotten back into biking about 8 months ago with a few 50 milers under my belt on my road bike. I’ve had the gravel bike for approx 4 months and love it a lot. I work in experiential marketing, and have a vintage VW as my other hobby!

Hello all! Provided this is allowed, I'd like to share a platform I've been building to help cyclists find teams, clubs, and group rides: Spoke&Circle (https://spokeandcircle.com) Frankly... looking for a specialized team, club, or group in Colorado kind of sucks right now. For those riders who are not on social media, are just entering the hobby, or are looking for a more competitive landscape, finding the right team or group can be pretty difficult. If you don't know the right people or know the right search terms, you end up in a lot of dead ends. I'm hoping that this platform can help end that, but I'm not ready for a full on launch yet - consider this a soft-launch. I'd like some people to poke around and let me know how the site works for them, what improvements should be made, how things work, etc.

The goal, eventually, is to partner with shops to help provide new riders, experienced cyclists, and everyone in between, the resources to find their right group to ride with.

Thank you!

P.S. I've been manually entering a lot of the teams/clubs I've found, so the list is very small still, but growing! If you have a team or club you'd like to submit, please do!

Heading out to Salida for the first time and will have time for one ride. Looking for recommendations good for XC bikes that are 20-30mi long, with nothing too techy (prefer no tech but it's Colorado).

It seems the Monarch Crest Trail is the best option but I'd want to start from Salida, not the Monarch Pass Trailhead outside of town. However, I'm not sure if I'll get those famous views by the half-way-point. Essentially, this route, but in reveres https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/3671983/monarch-crest-imba-epic.

Any tips, recommendations, or insights are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In the Frisco ish area

Asking because they're convenient but also because their reviews are wild...lol. Either terrible reviews with snarky owner response or glowing reviews.

They're a dealer for my brand and listed on the website (Specialized). Need a place to change tires, tubes, replace spokes and tune ups etc. Am used to walking in for service and decent prices. Have yet to find a LBS so still looking.
