Feb 14th: We can't promise you a bouquet of roses, but we can probably swing a box of chocolates. Spend the day with your special someone playing in the powder at Loveland Basin. Paul will provide a special sweetheart treat for those who

Feb 20th: Need to burn off some holiday Kibbles? Avoid the crowds on the ski slopes and take your best friend on a snow hike to Lost Lake by the Eldora Ski Area west of Nederland. Human laws permit well-behaved powder hounds off-leash on this hike so here's a great chance for you and your owner to get some winter exercise, and, of course, sniff some butts! Canine-less humans are also welcomed, as their existence without us dogs is tragedy enough. Bark out to Casey at calbiker@live.com for more info. Starts 20 Feb 2010, Added 17 Jan 2010

Apr 30th - May 2nd: Our annual spring excursion to Fruita this year will coincide with the "Fat Tire Festival" weekend. We've reserved three campsites at Highline Lake State Park near Loma. Most of the Fat Tire Festival activities will take place in the 18 Road trail complex, so we'll likely spend our time riding the loop trails along the rim of the Colorado River or those near Grand Junction to avoid the crowd. That's not to say, though, that we won't spend any time in Fruita mingling with the hordes of mountain bikers. To express interest in the outing, please email Paul at RacerX29er@gmail.com.

First warm, sunny weekend in April: Get the 2010 season off to a fun start with a two-day camping and biking weekend at Lake Pueblo State Park! We won't decide which weekend to go until we get a good weather report, so keep your schedule flexible. There are quite a number of short trails along the south shore: some mellow rollers over open prairie and other more challenging plunges into the arroyos that drain into the lake. This will be a low-key, low-cost outing that has proven delightful in previous years. Please contact ginzndenver@aol.com to put your name on the list to be notified about the trip dates.

Mar 3rd - 7th: Pack your snowshoes, skis, boards, and warm mitts! Here's your chance to cram in five days of winter sports in the Colorado high country. We'll rent another deluxe vacation home in Fraser for four nights and spend the days hitting the ski slopes, tubing hills, cross-country trails, natural hot springs, and/or shopping boutiques! Cost of $145 covers the four nights of lodging. Coupons for discount lift tickets available. Sorry, this trip is currently full. Trip host: calbiker@live.com.Starts 03 Mar 2010, Added 06 Dec 2009

Jul 22nd - 25th: We've ridden in the South Park area before but have rarely taken an extended stay to explore the many recreational opportunities to be had. Many miles of amazing singletrack and jeep trails snake through the north and west part of the valley. Experienced hikers can tackle any of the several nearby fourteeners of the Mosquito Range. We'll stay in a luxurious vacation home where we can soak in our own private hot tub after each great day in the mountains. Cost of $160 covers three nights lodging and most meals. Please contact calbiker@live.com for more information. Starts 22 Jul 2010, Added 06 Dec 2009

Aug 6th - 8th: Happily, we've found another new (to us) hut for our ninth annual hut trip. We'll spend the weekend exploring the trails around the Harry Gates Hut, south of Eagle. Located in an area rich with amazingly scenic jeep roads, Harry Gates is one of 10th Mountain's lowest in elevation. All of which make for an easier, more relaxing hut vacation. Of course, if you get bored, the notorious Mt. Thomas Deathmarch beckons! Cost of $125 covers two nights lodging and all meals. Due to sag vehicle requirements, space is limited. Please contact calbiker@live.com to get on board. Starts 06 Aug 2010, Added 06 Dec 2009

Jul 2nd - 5th: No other place in Colorado can match the exquisite beauty or challenging trails found in Crested Butte. Home to the world’s first fat tire festival, Crested Butte can honestly lay claim to being the cradle of mountain biking. We'll stay in well-appointed condos. More details will be forthcoming; mark your calendars for now. To receive email notification of the official announcement, please contact Paul at RacerX29er@gmail.com.

May 28th - 31st: Moab, Utah, is the undisputed Mountain Biking Capital of the world and a perennial club favorite destination. The area's treasure trove of slickrock formations and miles of gorgeous jeep roads and singletrack is a grand escape for bikers and hikers of all abilities. We'll stay in deluxe condos along the golf course where we can unwind with cold margaritas after a long, hot day on the bike. Mark your calendars for now. We'll post more details as they develop.
