10 Tracks with Alex Maltese

This week's 10 Tracks features Alex Maltese, founder of Fort Collins Gravel People group ride/movement/community.  Alex has called Fort Collins home for the past 5.5 years after relocating from Wheeling, West by God Virginia. He works as a Senior Growth Marketing Manager at Workstand and spends much of his free time riding gravel and mountain bikes around Northern Colorado. I also have it on good authority that he spends a fair amount of time, and probably money, working on his 2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

YGR Time Trials- July

The YGR Time Trials start back up again tomorrow, Tuesday, July 7th, with the Horsetooth Time Trial. The series continues Tuesday, July 7th, with the Taft Hill Time Trial and Tuesday, July 14th, with the Double Time Dams. We will have a team time trial this year at the Taft Hill TT. I'm also continuing with the pay-what-you-want payment structure. Historically, the cost has been $10, but if you want to pay less, I get it. If you want to pay more, awesome. See you tomorrow.

Ride Review: B Steele’s custom Nikas

Alright, let's go! Today, we've got B Steele's custom Nikas hardtail, proudly built right here in Fort Collins by Nick Zukauskas.  Bethel or “B” (he/him or they/them) just really loves bikes. Their love for bikes started when working at a local bike shop in Boston and has continued through one-on-one and small group mechanic workshops, most of which have been a venture of Queer+ Bikes, the group B co-founded with Lauren Mehl.

DesFit Review: Garmin Varia RearVue 820

In his latest review, DesFit takes a detailed look at the new Garmin Varia RearVue 820, breaking down what Garmin improved and who this upgrade is really for. Released in February 2026, the RearVue 820 builds on Garmin’s radar legacy with a brighter 100-lumen tail light, expanded 175-meter vehicle detection, brake light functionality, and more advanced vehicle tracking when paired with compatible Edge computers or the Varia app. Des dives into real world usability, battery life, and whether the added features justify the price compared to previous Varia models and competing radar units.

Gib’s NY Bagels

As I mentioned last week, I’m putting in a big push to add new advertisers to YGR during the month of September, and I’m stoked to welcome another true Fort Collins staple to the family: Gib's NY Bagels. Gib’s isn’t just the spot for a legit New York style bagel, they’ve been fueling the Northern Colorado community for over three decades. I’ve been using Gib’s as my unofficial remote office for years, so it’s pretty rad to see their banner flying on the site. They’ve always been huge supporters…
