The New Year will bring some new events to the Pikes Peak Region, including an international pro cycling race with the Prologue in Colorado Springs, and the 24-hour mountain bike national championship at the USAFA.

We have better maps (including a booklet of road rides), better trails, and our loaded GPS units to encourage exploration of new places to ride.  Our Monument Ride Center is your base camp for exploring the northern end of El Paso County, and the trails and open spaces of Douglas County just across County Line Road.

So, make a New Year’s Resolution to go outside–Explore, Compete, and Celebrate– all of the riding opportunities right here in the Pikes Peak Region.  Our staff is here to help you meet your goals and live your dreams.

The solstice is past, so daylight is on the way up again.  It looks like we will have one of those winters with both good ski conditions and great bike days.    Criterium will be open New Years Eve 8-4, and closed New Years Day, so that our staff can embark upon the traditional New Years Day ride.

We’re sorting through the inventory, and we found some things to mark down so that your gift cards will go further:

SPECIALIZED  OPTICS:  remaining sports glasses in stock — $70 glasses now $47;  $140 and over – now $99.
