Episode one of the Life / Balance Podcast features a chat with Torie Giffin, the Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort’s visionary and intrepid leader.
Torie has always led with her heart and passion for others. Hospitality is at her core. So, when she decided to create a resort for cyclists there was no question she was going to make it great. The vision for the resort started in 2015. Since then, Torie has had hundreds of conversations with friends and community and cycling advocates over more than a few cups of coffee and Colorado’s famous brews. There are some wonderful hotels in Colorado Springs but none that caters specifically to the outdoor adventurer and especially the bicyclist. Her dreams, paired with Colorado Springs’ efforts to become one of the top bicycle-friendly destination cities in the U.S. and Colorado’s growing ranking as a top 10 state for cycling seemed the perfect storm and an inspiration to be a part of the transformation.
