Gary Moore is the executive director of the Colorado Mountain Bike Association, COMBA. The group is dedicated to the interests of the Front Range mountain biking community in and around Denver.

In this episode we ask:

  • What is the Colorado Mountain Bike Association's mission and how large is your membership? How many miles of singletrack does COMBA help support?
  • When and why did COMBA get its start?
  • How long have you been with COMBA, and how did you get involved?
  • Did the recent boom in mountain bike participation translate into COMBA membership growth?
  • What is the biggest misconception the community tends to have about their local advocacy groups?
  • What are some of the most popular trails your group helps support? Are some Front Range trails particularly popular with MTB tourists?
  • Are there many opportunities for new trail builds on the Front Range? Can trail growth keep up with demand from new residents, and new riders?
  • How do you decide which trails projects to pursue?
  • Is unauthorized trail building a problem in the Denver metro area?
  • What does the current discussion around e-bike trail access look like for COMBA, especially when it comes to city and county trails along the Front Range?
  • What’s the biggest constraint or major challenge COMBA faces in carrying out and achieving the mission?
  • What’s next for COMBA?
