303Cycling would like to introduce our Women's Resource Page. The response to our increased coverage of Women's racing prompted us to go a step further. Now, women cyclists can find anything from interviews with an Olympic woman athlete, to the ACA Women's mentoring Program, as well as the latest centuries and tours. We look forward to the page developing and growing with the help of your comments and support.

Lyons Fat Tire Festival - Interview

Submitted by David on

News Item: 

The traditional start of the summer season, Memorial Day Weekend, is just around the corner and 303Cycling caught up with one person who is looking out for your beginning of summer fun. Dave of Redstone Cyclery and the 2010 Lyons Fat Tire Festival. We asked him a few questions and here are his answers:

[303Cycling] Tell us a little bit about the Lyons Fat Tire Festival.
[Dave] Well, it started 10 years ago as a housewarming party. We figured Memorial Day weekend would allow our far away friends a long weekend to visit. I had discovered some great riding west of here and wanted to share it with some good friends. Our first big ride had about 15 riders and we (very much tongue in cheek) dubbed it "The Lyons Fat Tire Festival".

2010 Walk and Bike month runs once again in the Month of June, with the big day, Walk or Bike to Work Day being June 23rd. Citizens are encouraged to take this Day if not the entire month to explore the joy of getting around without the means of a car. There is no better place to try this than in Boulder, which is ranked 1 of 3 as a platinum cycling city! Come on Boulder, let's beat our last year's participation results. For those unfamiliar with this then stay tuned to 303cycling for updates on all of the various Walk and Bike month activities like classes on commuting, information on bike parking, locations of free food stations and tune-ups and more.

There's usually two sides to every story but this one cyclist nor months of poor cycling choices ever justify this reckless and lethal behavior this driver showed in the email I received below today . I hope some of the improvements on lefthand canyon prevent things in Boulder getting as bad as they are in Larimer County.

High Plains - Greenbelt - Community Ditch Loop

Submitted by David on

News Item: 

Yesterday at lunch the 303cycling staff decided to dust off the singlespeeds, both mountain and cross, and give some Boulder County trails a try.

We parked in Superior for the start of the ride. The route was as follows:
Coalton Trail -> High Plains -> Greenbelt Plateau -> Community Ditch Trail -> Cowdrey Draw Trail -> 66th St (Right or Left and back to Superior)

We rode south down McCaslin on the famous Morgul Bismark course to the Coalton trail which heads west for a nice view of the foothills before turning south. The Coalton is connected to the High Plains trail and is a nice stretch of singletrack. High Plains then drops down to the Greenbelt Trailhead at CO 128 and Highway 93.

We then headed North on Greenbelt Trail where the bike path like conditions allow you to take in the awesome views. Greenbelt connects to the Community Ditch Trail which has a dramatic overlook of Marshall Road and allows you to ride two abreast. We finished up the trail riding on the singletrack Cowdrey Draw Trail which comes to a "T" at the Koppenberg course at 66th St. Finally, we turned left and followed the Koppenberg course back into Superior. If work wasn't calling, we would have turned right and taken the Koppenberg course in reverse back to Superior for some more time on the dirt.

Whether it's a new trail or an old bike you haven't ridden or a combination of the two, it's great to just get out and ride!
