10 Tracks

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.

As we lean back into the 10 Tracks feature here at YGR, we welcome Kat Steele as our first DJ in a spell. Kat moved to Fort Collins eight months ago and has been very active in the scene, especially within the Women/Trans/Femme/Non-Binary space. Kat runs WTF Bike, which helps the previously mentioned and often marginalized riders "learn about all kinds of cycling, learn new skills, and develop communities where they are respected and accepted." Click to get to know more about Kat and take her playlist for a spin.

After a brief hiatus, we're back with a fresh 10 Tracks episode. OMBA board member, Kyle Leto provided this week's playlist.  Kyle is a former D1 swimmer and professional triathlete who comes to us from San Jose CA, after a stint in Boulder, CO. These days he logs most of his miles on his Niner Jet 9 RDO. Kyle is a Medical Sales Representative at Biotronik and has lived in Fort Collins for nine years.

This week's 10 Tracks is in memory of our good friend Ralph Eberspacher who would have been 56 today. The playlist was compiled by some of Ralph's closest friends, affectionately known as the Path Lords, due to their propensity for urban hijix on Fort Collins' paths and trails.

his week's 10 Tracks DJ is Brad Piepenbrink. Brad and his wife Krista bought Recycled Cycles and moved to Fort Collins two years ago. Since making the move they've fully embraced the Fort Collins lifestyle, they're a one car family that does most of their work, school, pool and brewery runs by bike.   You'll often see them bombing around town with their two kids dangling out of their Yuba Supercargo CL e bike.  They've also become among the most active shop owners in the Fort Collins cycling scene.

This week's playlist was provided by Jon Guerdrum, Overland Mountain Bike Association's current Board of Directors President.  Originally from Albuquerque, NM, Jon is a staff engineer at Thermo Fisher Scientific. The accomplished artist who designed the Overland Trail Beer label, poster, and tap has been riding NoCo trails for 12 years.

This week's 10 Tracks DJ is equally comfortable at the skate park as he is throwing down sprints during the local road group rides. Alfred Querubin moved to Fort Collins from Manila, Philippines, in 2003, graduated from CSU in 2015 and now works remotely for Tricentis as a Senior Solutions Architect.
