2026 Press Release

We’re excited to announce that the Fort Follies are now a 501c3 nonprofit organization that is dedicated to empowering women of all abilities in Northern Colorado to be active and impactful members of our cycling community. This won’t change how we operate as a team, however it will solidify the presence of the Fort Follies as a women’s cycling club in Northern Colorado for all cyclists comfortable in femme spaces, including cis-women, transfemme, and non-binary cyclists, and allow us to continue provide opportunities for women to be part of the cycling community here.
We will be continuing our partnership with the FoCo Fondo to put on the successful and highly popular Women’s Gravel Weekend. We will also be putting on educational events throughout the season for our team members involving topics like basic and advanced bike mechanics, strength training for cyclists, and nutrition.
The Fort Follies will maintain a packed ride schedule with beginner and intermediate+ road and gravel rides every month, monthly mountain bike day trips, and adventure rides throughout the summer.
