10 Tracks

This week’s 10 Tracks feature comes from Cole Schumacher, store manager at Trek Bikes Loveland. Originally from Las Vegas, Cole has lived in Northern Colorado for two years and rides road, gravel, and mountain bikes. He listens to music regularly—whether commuting, riding, or hanging out with friends—and submitted a playlist that reflects influences from his hometown and close friends. His current bike of choice is a Trek Checkpoint, and his favorite local routes include Rist and Rattlesnake.

Luke La Vine is a digital and social media manager for ICFG who’s been in Northern Colorado since 2022, landing first in Loveland before settling into southeast Fort Collins in 2023. He also works part-time at Incycle. Originally from San Diego, Luke’s path to NoCo included stops in Los Angeles and Portland before he and his wife decided to make the Fort their forever home. More importantly than all that, he’s this week’s 10 Tracks DJ.

It's been a minute, but we've got a fresh playlist up. This week on YGR 10 Tracks, we’re rolling with Chris Bell, a Fort Collins-based IT consultant, coffee loyalist, musician, 'Dead fan and all-around bike explorer. Whether he’s grinding on the trainer or out riding solo, Chris fuels his adventures with a playlist that reflects a lifelong connection to music—one shaped by his dad and the talented local musicians he plays with around town.

This week's 10 Tracks DJ is my pal, Tommy "T Bone" (maybe I'm the only one that calls him that?) Taylor. Tommy has been a fixture of the Fort Collins cycling scene for about as long as I can remember. He listened to me bitch about the fragmentation of the NoCo scene before either one of us knew I was going to launch YGR in 2008. He's ridden for Miiflo Cycling Team (formally FCCT) forever and even spent some time as the technical director of Cross of the North.

This week’s 10 Tracks features Kade Kreikemeier, an FtC local with a passion for both road and mountain biking. For 2025, the 20 year old will be heading back to Europe to kick off his first year as a paid roadie with Team Telco On Clima Oeses, an Elite and U23 team based in the Navarra region of Spain.

Eva Keohane, an ultra runner, cyclist, and Ph.D. candidate in Agricultural Chemistry at Colorado State University, is this week's 10 Tracks DJ. Originally from Syracuse, New York, she moved to the Fort in 2021 for school and quickly found a home in our wicked, awesome local cycling community.

This morning, we welcome Cory Flood as our 10 Tracks DJ. Cory moved to Fort Collins in 2021 and is a civil engineer here in NoCo. His primary focus is road racing, moving to Sonic Boom from Ardor Racing in 2025. He's a regular on TTH, and I know from personal experience that he can race a gravel bike. He was in the process of dropping our group and going on to win the 60-mile Foco Fondo in the photo he submitted for this content (I think he was sticking it to me by using that one). He also dabbles in cyclocross when he has the time. 

We've got a fresh 10 Tracks playlist dropping today by Brando Rockers. A Fort Collins resident since 2020, Brando is originally from Kingsville, Texas. He prefers his rides to include at least a little dirt, so you'll always find him on his MTB, CXB, or GRVLB. But you're most likely to see him on his 2022 Scott Spark RC Comp on Pineridge, Maxwell, and/or Shoreline before bombing back into town.

We've got more 10 Tracks dropping over the next several weeks. Shoot me a message if you'd like to be featured or know of someone who should be.

Today we hear from Maas van de Graaf. Pretty sure he's the first DJ to drop Primus into his playlist (YGR approved). He also has the most 'pro-cyclist-name' of anyone in Fort Collins. Maas is just starting his career as a civil engineer with Olsson here in Fort Collins, which, in my opinion, is great because it's always good to have more cyclists designing our cities. Maas is a CSU alum who still coaches and rides with the team. He races for FCCT.

It’s time to channel your inner @coachbalto and fire up that Bluetooth speaker for tomorrow’s Bike to School Day. We have a very special 46-song playlist compiled by local DJs @dj_jimeni and @jamtwoscoops. It’s available via Spotify below. Bike Bus leaders, feel free to BLAST this on your rides to school to get the kids amped up. It’s going to be sunny and 38 in the AM, so it's perfectly doable. Be sure to take lots of pics and videos and tag YGR.

It's always awesome to have actual musicians or professional DJs here on 10 Tracks. This week we've got Jim McTernan coming at ya.  Jim, aka Jimeni, has been working clubs, shows, and raves as a DJ for the past 20 years.  He believes, "A quality DJ mix not only has good tracks in it but also it is blended track to track so that it becomes a singular piece of music. I find a good DJ mix just makes the time fly by and are great for long days out training."

Tune into the most recent 10 Tracks to hear what Alex Broyhill, the sales manager at the Fort Collins Trek shop, has on his playlist. Alex came to Fort Collins from Boone, NC, to run Trek North and took over as the sales manager when the shops were consolidated. Alex spent eight years in the Army before getting into the cycling industry nine years ago.
