I have some great news and some not-so-awesome news.

First, the great news: two years after CDOT replaced the Kechter bridge over I25, the City of Fort Collins has repaved, widened, and added bike lanes to both sides of the road West of I25.

If all goes according to plan, the Poudre River Trail will connect Bellvue to Greeley, passing through Fort Collins, Timnath, and Windsor by the end of the year. Three sections of trail totaling about 2 miles need to be completed before we can ride all 40 miles from start to finish.

Earlier this month, Larimer County completed project number 327, which widened, repaved and added 6' bike lanes to North Shields Street between Willox and Highway 287. These improvements provide a much-needed and safer way for cyclists to exit North Central Fort Collins.   Prior to this project, no bike lanes existed between Willcox and 287.

Of the 25 riders currently registered, eight are from Northern Colorado. Be sure to cheer on Zack Allison, Devon Pia, Matt Fix, Tom Carter, Jon Ruble, Kevin Clark, Matt Erickson, and Travis Stuart. You can track them live via the Trackleaders map.
