Routt County Riders began in the early 1990s as a group of mountain bikers interested in building and maintaining trails in our area. In the early 2000s, local road cyclists started showing up to meetings asking for representation to advocate for safer roads. As interest and membership grew, we began to support programs and scholarships for youth cycling, community cycling initiatives and advocacy

, and both mountain and road cycling events. Today we are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) Chapter club that continues to grow and represent more variations of biking, including downhill/freeride, year-round commuting, and adaptive cycling. Routt County Riders, an IMBA Chapter, is a volunteer-based, membership-driven organization. As a bicycle advocacy group, we offer input to and through numerous governmental agencies including: CDOT, Northwest Transportation Region, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Routt County, the City of Steamboat Springs, the Emerald Mountain Partnership, and others. We work to advocate for, promote, and enhance all forms of cycling on trails, roads, and pathways in Routt County.

Colorado's Bike to Work Day is finally here so I hope you are ready. WEDNESDAY June 24th RCR is ready to celebrate those commuters on there way to work. So make sure you've checked your bike out so that it's ready to ride, and don't forget your helmet.

We're back again on the courthouse lawn, serving up a hot breakfast and coffee, along with some other goodies. Starting at 7:00am until 9:30am we've got you covered for that bike commute.

Cheers to The Drunken Onion Get & Go Kitchen for providing a hot breakfast burrito to-go, Big Iron Coffee for a hot cup of coffee to perk you up. Some other goodies are provided thanks to UC Health and the YVMC. We'll also be joined by RC Public Health/Built Environment Coalition, Western Resilience Center who will be there too, so just might get some bonus miles for the CARbon-Free Challenge. Just saying all of this together seems like a no brainer, so we hope to see you rolling up Wednesday morning!

Today was a pretty great first night with our Boys and Girls Club of Steamboat Springs interns. These four bike shop interns spend one day a week at the Boys and Girls Club and then another day in our shop. Any bike needing shop attention gets hauled over to our shop, where we teach them more detailed maintenance. It’s a great way to keep hundreds of kids riding hundreds of bikes and also develop great vocational skills within our community.

Someone please buy this bike from one of our AWESOME volunteer mechanics, Michael Fitz. This was one that we didn’t have the tools or time to restore (because it’s from the 1970s) and it was headed to the dumpster. Michael put WAY more hours into this than he’s charging and is probably just recouping some parts money. He did all this to keep it out of a dumpster because he loves restoring old classics. It is unrecognizable from when he rescued it. It’s a cool bike. He’s asking a very fair $200 on FB Marketplace. Shoot us a note if interested or search Gitane on FB Marketplace for his listing.

Most of you know about our community bike shop hours every Wed/Thurs 5-7 pm at 2730 Downhill Plaza, unit 106a, but did you know…

Starting Tuesday, 16 Jun, 6-8 pm, we’ll be resuming our 🔧 women’s maintenance clinics!

We at ❤️🚲 Bike Match 🚲❤️ are grateful for our community partners. We collaborate with Boys and Girls Club of Steamboat Springs to keep two, soon to be three fleets of BGC bikes running—that’s hundreds of repairs a season. Program Director Kelly Landers and her crew have brought so much riding joy to hundreds of boys and girls.

We also use the community shop to help Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club ❄️ ensure its fleet is ready for its youth programs. Cycling director Evan Soard makes sure any kid who wants to participate in the SSWSC cycling programs has access to a bike suitable to mountain biking.

Helen Beall and the The Cycle Effect use our community bike shop to help train their coaches on basic bike maintenance—and we
match bikes to family members wanting to ride with their daughters. 🔧⚙️

These are some of the things your donations to Bike Match and our community bike shop make possible. We are determined to ensure that every child in our community has an opportunity to experience the joy of cycling. 🚵🏽‍♀️ Thank you to all those cyclists that continue to support RCR and our community partners! , ,

✨A Letter to my RCR Community✨

Welp - it’s been quite the wild ride! It’s time for me to make some big changes in my life, and that means moving on from Program Director at Routt County Riders 🥲

These past three seasons plus some have brought incredible friendships, ripping good trails (and many scrapes and bruises), and so much FUN! I feel so lucky to have been immersed in the joy, passion, and love that bikes bring to our community.

Obviously, it’s always been so much more than biking for me - bringing the freedom, growth, and opportunity that wheels provide to you all has filled my cup beyond belief and I will deeply miss that!

But I can’t wait to see you all on the trails (Routt County can’t get rid of me), so hit me up for a gravel gab, trail tag, or just a coffee chat 🫶🏼

With that, we’re looking to fill the Program Director role ASAP - applications will remain open until filled! For all details, please see here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dxMOKL6R7L9G1Okom8jjIACFs8u3sg96/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=109463180465988119290&rtpof=true&sd=true

With the wind in our hair,

Lucy ♥️
