First ride: Rhyolite Bike Park
On my way home yesterday from USA Cycling in Colorado Springs, CO, I stopped by Rhyolite Bike Park in Castle Rock.
One hour. Eight laps. Rock!
The sweetest trails and riding spots
Photos and video from Superior Bike Park
As of yesterday, Superior Bike Park in Superior, CO is officially open. Still mustering the energy to post a valuable follow-up story. In the meantime:

Super Bike Park opening party time!
Superior Bike Park, Superior CO:
• I am proud of the park layout and build quality (thanks Nick Simcik and Jerad Fischer). Every line flows like love from a benevolent god.
• Tomorrow, Saturday, March 18, we do a little cleanup. We celebrate. We ride.
• Tamping, sweeping and raking 9 a.m. to noon-ish. Come on out. With minimal effort, you can say you helped build the park. Bring a tamper if you have one. Otherwise, bring feet, rakes and shovels. Oh, and push brooms.
• After work, we eat, drink, share the stoke and RIDE OUR BIKES!
Don’t be surprised if there’s a Pump Track World Championship.
The work is done. TIME TO RIDE!
Park at the end of Honey Creek Lane in Superior.
Burning in a pump track, the fun way
Superior Bike Park is just about dialed. Time to chase details and burn a couple hundred laps on the main pump track.
Superior Bike Park build: Day 7
Another great volunteer turnout. All features are riding well. The park is 99% final (a week ahead of schedule!).
