A New Chapter For Trails in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs Mountain Bike Association has been hard at work with the City of Colorado Springs to increase the number of sustainable mountain bike trails in the region. There are a number of projects in the works, and we have been focusing most of our efforts to complete a new bike-only trail at Austin Bluffs Open Space. Partnering with SRAM and Criterium Bicycles, we have completed volunteer work days that have proven to be extremely successful. As mountain bikers, we all want to see more trails get put in. The catch here is that it has to be done properly and be taken through the correct channels. The directional, bike-only trail at Austin Bluffs Open Space is a perfect example of the caliber of trails we can bring to our great city when we funnel our energy into positive stewardship and relationships between mountain bikers, other trail users, and conservation groups.
