Colorado Springs is a bucket list destination for mountain biking, most especially due to the variety of trails, terrains, views, and accessibility, but it has been community support through local trail building non-profits that has been key to maintaining and growing it and making it so great. But there was still a need for more advanced trail advocacy and building and now thanks to the Colorado Springs Mountain Biking Association, it’s getting even better.
