Fossil Creek Trail between Trilby and Carpenter roads reopened on Friday, February 27, 2026, a month ahead of its original March 31st completion date.

A new team is rolling into Fort Collins in '26 with a roster that already feels established. The Corndoggies Cycling Team may describe itself as starting small, but with 28 riders, I'd beg to differ.

The team is led by John Lawyer, who has been active in the Fort Collins cycling scene for more than a decade as both a rider and a sponsor. He previously backed the Miiflo Cycling Team and privateer Michael Kanter before launching his own squad with the help of his wife SJ.

Built around partnership, accountability, and community, the team’s focus is simple: help riders achieve their personal goals, whether that means racing or reaching a big mileage milestone. When Lawyer launched Corndoggies in 2016, the cycling community showed up for him. Nearly ten years later, this team feels like a full circle moment.
