FtC to Coyote Ridge Connectivity
With Dakota Ridge and Skyline Natural Areas coming online later this year in Loveland, I’ve been getting a lot of messages about the potential for a soft surface trail linking Cathy Fromme Prairie at the Fossil Creek Path in Fort Collins to Coyote Ridge. Lets check in with FCNA and OMBA to see what's up with that.

Ride Review: Greg Scanlan’s 2022 S-Works Crux
Greg Scanlan raced this 2022 Specialized S-Works Crux to a win the men's 50-54 race during the first-ever USA Cycling Gravel National Championships in Gering, Neb, last September. If everything goes according to plan, he will race the same bike in the same town and get the same result on Sunday. The 58cm Crux is dripping with Dura-Ace and weighs in at 17.50 lbs. The only difference from last year is a shift from 38mm to 45mm tires.
Good luck to Greg and everyone racing on Sunday.

DesFit Review: Oakley Meta Vanguard
In his latest in-depth review, DesFit takes a close look at the Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses, a $499.00 blend of performance eyewear and cutting-edge tech. With a built-in 12MP camera for hands-free photo and video capture, open-ear audio, Meta AI voice control, and full integration with apps like Garmin and Strava, they’re designed for athletes who want to record, connect, and stay aware on the move. Des says, “These are probably one of my new favorite pieces of sports tech that I’ve tried in quite some time.” You can watch his full review embedded below.
