Last month, Brian Mass of CBS4 out of Denver contacted me about a story he was working on with regards to the stolen bike epidemic we've all been dealing with. We spend a few minutes discussing the two bikes I repossessed and bike theft in general. The other person he interviewed had returned 13 bikes to their rightful owners! I'm glad the new website got a little action in the video and I don't think I came off as a complete idiot.

A GoFundMe campaign has been established by Alexa Wagner for Rio Grande Elite Cycling's Alex Marr. Alex crashed heavily during the Redlands Classic this year and sustained serious injuries to his back, pelvis, and head.

The 975 acre Sher View Open Space will boost 12 miles of singletrack, 2 of which are downhill only mtb trails and will have connectivity to the Poudre River Trail. The open space is located just Southeast of Windsor near Highways 34 and 257. The purchase was made possible by a partnership between Trust for Public Land, the City of Greeley, and Great Outdoors Colorado.

Fort Collins Natural Areas announced today that as part of a partnership with Larimer County Open Space, they'll be expanding Bobcat Ridge by 675 acres. The expansion will bring the total acreage of Bobcat Ridge to 3,280. This purchase eliminates the possibility of 11, 35-acre homesites and a 28-lot subdivision. In all likelihood, it will be a few years before the public has access to the land although input is currently being requested.

Thanks to everyone that came out to the April YGR Time Trial Series. I hope everyone enjoyed the new format. We're going to do it again in June and August. 

145 riders started version 2 of the NoCo Criterium at the Northern Colorado Law Enforcement Center's driving course.  V1 of this race was held earlier in the season but in the other direction. 26  of the starters were from Northern Colorado with 5 of them ending up on the podium.

Only 95 riders took to the start line for this year's Frostbite Time Trial on April 30th.  18 of those racers were from Northern Colorado with 10 of them ending up on the podium.

Our fellow mountain biker that passed away on Sunday, May 1st while riding Devils Backbone was Loveland's, Doug Collins.

The Send Town Shorttrack races at New Belgium Brewing have been responsible for introducing hundreds, ney, thousands of people to mountain bike racing since they started over a dozen years ago. The energetic and welcoming atmosphere, low cost of entry, and rowdy racing are always a good time. The beer garden and food trucks round out the FoCo vibe. The racing takes place on Tuesday nights. Get there early for the free kid’s races.

Governor Jared Polis signed the 'Safety Stop' bill into law at a ceremony Wednesday afternoon. House Bill 22-1028 applies to bicycles, e-bikes, and electrically assisted scooters and effectively allows them to treat stop signs as yield signs and red lights as stop signs.

Of the 245 finishers from the NoCo Criterium held on Saturday, 44 were from the Northern Colorado area. 16 of those racers went inside the top five. Brad Wright, Michael Ortega, and Phillip Merrill took wins in their respective categories.

Back in September and thanks to Seth Picket, I was able to achieve a rather unique cycling goal; recovering a stolen bike and returning it to its rightful owner (you can read that story here). This past Saturday, I managed to do it again. This second recovery was by accident and completely spur of the moment.
