Not one city along the Colorado Front Range has as many trails right out your front door as FTC. You can easily stitch together 4-6hrs of MTBing from your driveway. Horsetooth and Lory Parks are among the best in the nation.  Drive a few miles up the Poudre Canyon and you can lose yourself for days.
The city and county are opening countless trails every season.
There are rumors out there that FTC will be hosting more than just the CSU mtb race in 09.  Keep an eye out for information on the ever popular New Belgium Mid-Week Short Track Series.
We are working with Net Cairns, Single Track Trails and 'Overland Mountain Bike Club to map and describe all the local trails.
Keep checking this page for up-to-date information on the local mtb scene.

- Bobcat Ridge:
Bobcat Ridge is OPEN but there are still some wet and muddy conditions on the upper Valley Loop and DR Trail. Please walk THROUGH (not around) the mud to prevent trail widening. STARRY NIGHT scheduled for Thursday, March 11 is canceled.
- Pineridge :
Pineridge Natural Area is OPEN.
- Soapstone Prairie :
Cheyenne Rim trail (lower half) checked on Saturday 3/6. Due to 1/2 inch of snowfall overnight, trail was wet and sticky. Sun and wind should dry it out soon. Towhee and Mahogany checked last week. Front side dry in most places, but northfacing slopes completely snow-covered. Biking, trail-running NOT recommended on these trails. Pronghorn trail muddy in place - fair condition. Thank you for staying on trail and walking through mud.
- All other trails are open! Enjoy your natural areas!

As part of Overland’s Winter Movie and Presentation Series on Monday, January 11th, at 7:00 pm, at the Catalyst Tap Room, Todd Thibodeau will be giving a presentation on the creation of the Curt Gowdy trail system. This will be a multimedia presentation, where Todd will talk about the steps that went into getting the project started, the difficulties and success along the way, what has worked and what has not, and what has been accomplished so far and what is still proposed. This of course promises to be a ‘don’t miss it’ event, so…
Todd is a Wyoming parks manager, and was recently made a Fox-IMBA Hero for his work in developing the Curt Gowdy trail system, that this fall was awarded ‘Epic’ status by IMBA. Todd is a certified Mountain Bike Patroller, and on the Board of Directors of the Overland Mountain Bike Club. |
