Founded in 1989, our organization has dedicated over three decades to advocating for sustainable mountain biking trails across Western Colorado. We operate through four active chaptersGrand Valley Trails, Delta Area Mountain Bikers, Montrose Uncompahgre Trails, and Ridgway Area Trailsuniting volunteers and communities in trail building and preservation. Our efforts have resulted in over 8 miles of new singletrack development in 2024 alone, supported by partnerships with the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife and local conservation corps. We prioritize community engagement through events like the RAT Race and Stoke Nights, fostering stewardship and celebrating mountain biking culture. Our volunteer-driven model has contributed more than 3,000 hours annually to trail maintenance and expansion, including the completion of the RAT expansion and the K2 Play trail, honoring former coordinator Kristina Kittelson.

We actively protect public lands from privatization, collaborating with advocacy groups to ensure access to outdoor recreation spaces. Our rebranded Grand Valley Trails chapter reflects our commitment to evolving with community needs while maintaining environmental integrity. Through transparent collaboration with agencies and landowners, we ensure trails meet both rider expectations and ecological standards. Our annual reports highlight measurable progress in trail development, volunteer participation, and community partnerships, demonstrating our accountability to members and stakeholders. As a leader in regional trail advocacy, we combine grassroots activism with professional expertise to create lasting outdoor recreation opportunities.
