RMBB observes Independence Day with a return to one of our favorite destinations.  Trails in the Yampa Valley surrounding Steamboat Springs offer riding experiences as varied as the scenery.  We'll stay four nights at a private home near the base area and public services.  Accommodations are priced per bed: King bedroom-$600; Queen bedroom-$500; Twin bed-$300.  Sorry, this trip has filled.  Please contact RacerX29er@Gmail.com for more information or to get on the waiting list.

Join SOS Outreach for the 2nd annual mountain bike ride through Beaver Creek Resort, designed to offer recreational and competitive cyclists the opportunity to experience the thrill of competing in a challenging and moderately technical off-road course.  The route follows the traditional XTerra course in a full 17.4-mile loop (with three separate length options available) across Beaver Creek Mountain.  Ride solo or put together your team of cycling amigos for a memorable day of riding to provide opportunities for local youth!  Please see eventbrite for more info or to sign up.

Instead of the traditional August hut trip, we are going to the CasaColo chalet for this three-night adventure. Located just outside of Fraser, our rental home has a whopping 11 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms with showers, so there should be no need to queue up at the ZODI for public showering on the deck (darn)! Pricing for this trip is $240 per person in a shared room (that's $480 for a couple). This price includes 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners, along with sack lunch fixings for 2 days.

The house has the following bedrooms: 4 king bedrooms; 2 king bedrooms with an additional sleep sofa/futon; 2 queen bedrooms; 1 king bedroom with a bunk bed; 1 double + twin bedroom; 1 bunk room with 3 bunk beds and 3 trundle beds. Bedrooms will be assigned on the following basis: (1) Nobody will be assigned to share a bed except by mutual request; (2) Nobody will be assigned a sleep sofa or futon except by request or coordination; (3) King bedrooms: Couples or those requesting to share a bed; (4) Rooms with multiple beds: Singles; (5) Rooms prioritized based upon order paid.

The break-even for this trip is about 16 individuals. If we have more sign up, the excess will be refunded, with the larger amounts going to those with 3 or more in a room. To sign up, Paypal $240 per person (or $480 for a couple) to daw@swatllc.com.

 

RMBB will spend the last holiday weekend of summer revisiting some of our favorite trails.  The Grand Valley in western Colorado is home to legendary rides near Fruita and Grand Junction.  We'll stay three nights at two private homes near Colorado National Monument and Lunch Loop / Tabeguache trailhead.  We'll visit local restaurants for evening meals.  Sorry, this trip has filled.  Please contact RacerX29er@Gmail.com for more information or to get on the waiting list.

Trek Dirt Series has opened 20 different camps scheduled for 2017 through BC, Alberta, Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.  They include women’s specific and co-ed options, cross-country and downhill focuses, and progressive confidence-inspiring instruction for beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders.  Developing skills to make riding more fun is one of our priorities, and leaving people with additional resources and the feeling that they’re part of the mountain bike community is another.  The Trek Dirt Series organization works with a number of charities, scholarship partners, and trail associations such as Athletes 4 Cancer, Runamuk Life, and Whistler Off Road Cycling Association.  Group discounts for camp registrations may be available if you want to sign on as a member of RMBB.  Please contact info@dirtseries.com or visit their website at www.dirtseries.com for more information.
