Old Flowers Offroad Virtual Competition

We wish that everyone could come out to Fort Collins to ride some of our favorite roads, but given the threat of COVID 19, it would be irresponsible to have people travel for something non-essential. However, we still want to encourage everyone to ride and donate to The Cycle Effect. Which is why we are making the 2020 Old Flowers Off Road a virtual challenge.
