You’re about to drop in "Freelunch," the first downhill-use specific trail on BLM property in the United States.

Location

Glenwood Springs, Colorado from Gear Exchange
words by Linden Carlson

The seemingly sleepy little towns of western Colorado have come onto the scene over the past couple years; they are now known for having prime single track hidden neatly away, just out of sight, tucked in the hills somewhere outside city limits. I mean, we are in the Rockies! Why wouldn’t there be great mountain biking scattered amongst all the other great mountain related activities? After all, that’s the point of living up here. If you have a lifestyle of playing your favorite game, then you tend to live where that game can be played. So here I am, living life on two wheels in Glenwood Springs.

A few weeks ago, I was looking for another place to ride. Something new, single-trackie, closer to the shop and with “expansion potential” (because trail work is fun).

Since we opened, we’ve had some local customers mention a now extinct XC race series which used to be held at a local ski area, Gunstock Mountain Resort. This makes sense ‘cuz Gunstock is a popular local winter gathering for downhill and xc skiers. Worth the 10 minute ride over there to have a look around? Heck yeah.

There are some things that I just love about mountain biking; riding under tall trees with ferns and singletrack that keeps your attention with a variety of features. It just puts a smile on my face.

The trails are legendary: Boogieman, Neds, Pangor, Corkscrew and the showpiece of the North Shore, CBC. Mountain bikers from all over the world travel to Mount Seymour to ride these trails and to see how they measure up against the trails that they have no doubt studied by watching them in videos back home.
