Recreational bike trails boom in Colorado

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper recently launched the Colorado Pedals Project and committed $100 million USD over the next four years to make Colorado a leading state in the nation to ride a bike.

As such, several Colorado communities are unveiling new bike trails over the next year in addition to new cycling events, packages and clinics.

In Jan. 2016, the Governor announced 16 priority trails projects that are in various stages of planning and building and will drastically increase the recreational cycling opportunities in Colorado over the next several years.

Some examples include The Colorado Front Range Trail, a multi-use trail extending from the borders of Wyoming to New Mexico; The Colorado Riverfront Trail connecting Palisade, Grand Junction and Fruita; Paths to Mesa Verde linking Mancos, Mesa Verde National Park, Cortez and the Phil’s World Mountain Bike Trails System and more.
