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.

Course Notes:
The 2010 course is very similar to the 2009 course with some minor re-routes here and there to avoid some really deep water – we didn’t think it would be a good idea for you to ride with flippers and a diving mask. Specific course details are available here.
Just before Aid Station #2 there is a reroute at the bottom of Aspen Trail – be ready for it as it’s an about-face right hand turn. It’s a great little section of single track that’s mostly flat, then downhill – super fast, super fun! At the bottom, you’ll do a minor stream crossing (only about 2 feet wide and literally 2-3″ deep), then take a right towards station 2.
The next change happens after Aid Station #3 – there is a really sketchy singletrack that got washed out and to boot, it was located next to a barb-wire fence (yikes!). So there’s a new section of singletrack that’s – um, way cool! It avoids the rutted section for about 1/4 mile, then gets back on the original single track – note that this section is next to the fence, so be extra cautious.
The last change is a minor reroute prior to Aid Station #5 where there is a massive bog – with the reroute, you’ll miss getting wet and muddy.
That’s about it folks – have a great race!

The guys over at the Cycologist are starting community no drop mtb rides. They'll be leaveing every Sunday evening at 5pm from the Prospect and Overland trailhead. All ages and abilities are more than welcome, the route will be based on abilities/fitness and may split into two groups if necessary.
Now here's the kicker. After each ride they are going to host a BBQ you have to BYOM and BYOB but they'll burn it up for you. Just make sure you have a safe way to get home if you have a beer or nine.
This is a no ego, chill community ride.
Give the shop a call at 482-0822

The 2010 Mountain Bike National Championships were held in Granby this past weekend and it went pretty well for two Fort Collins riders.  Skyler Trujillo (Jr 17-18) and Georgia Gould (Pro) each won a Cross Country National Champions jersey on Saturday. The two would match each others performances again on Sunday by taking silver in the Short Track. Georgia won XC Nats in 2006 and Short Track Nats in 2009. Brad Cole finished just off the Single Speed podium in 4th.

From Cycling News
Skyler Trujillo (Fort Collins) won the junior men's 17-18 race after a battle with Howard Grotts (Durango Devo), who finished second. Tony Smith (Whole Athlete) was third.
Trujillo, who was second last year in the junior 17-18 race, said he felt good from the start. "I felt like I was pushing a nice, easy pace for the first laps, and I kept up with Howard."
The Fort Collins resident was enjoying winning his first national title.
Unfortunately, for Howard, a second lap incident in which he had a run in with an Under 23 racer and crashed, cost him some valuable time.
"I gained at least 20 seconds on him," said Trujillo. "I waited for him and he almost caught me by the top, and then I got to the descent and I was like, 'I'm not waiting for him anymore.'"
Grotts took the crash in stride and recovered well enough to finish in a steady second place. "I got cut off on the second lap, but oh well. The traffic wasn't too bad - really only a problem on the second lap (of three)," said Grotts. "I felt good for the first two laps and just held it for the third one. It was a pretty good race overall."
William Curtis (Whole Athlete) and Christopher Bennett finished fourth and fifth respectively.
