Meet the Colorado Springs Cycling Club, the longest running cycling club in the Springs. Torie sits down with the club’s board for our first podcast recorded in front of a live audience. Hear about the variety of club rides and offerings, advocacy efforts and events supported and what’s new for 2024, in addition to diving into the 37-year history of the club with some of the club’s past presidents and its most active members. It was a packed house with more than 40 people in attendance. If you’re looking for a great local club to join, listen here to find out more and check out http://bikesprings.org/ for all of the ride schedules, information and to join.
The Colorado Springs Cycling Club is a non-profit community recreational cycling club open to all ages and abilities. It was started in the mid 80s by Bob and Anne Smith following the ending of the Strata Cycling Club. When Torie moved to Colorado Springs 22 years ago, the club became her first family of friends and she fell in love with the Springs riding with them. She’s been on the board for several years now and also helped put on the Club’s Buena Vista Bike Festival for about 4 years in the 2010s. It was truly Torie’s pleasure to be able to host this special live podcast and season kickoff of the Club. There are so many exciting things happening with the club this year. Membership is $21/individual and $28/family for 1 year.

It’s the oldest independently-owned bike shop in Colorado Springs, with a history of not just providing great service, sales and rider support for over 52 years, but of contributing to the community with impacts that reach far beyond the cycling world, to make this city a better place to live for everyone.
In this edition of Pedal the Springs, meet Tony, the owner of Ted’s Bicycles, and find out more about the shop’s history and the many activities and events he has initiated and supported throughout the years, from repairing bicycles for an annual Christmas giveaway to those less fortunate, to helping launch one of the most iconic area events, the Starlight Spectacular, that funds our local trails and open spaces, to providing more than 300 bike racks throughout our entire community. It’s a special heartfelt show and tribute that highlights how much one shop and man can make a difference.

Our regular weekly rides include our Saturday recreational intermediate to advanced road and feature over 10 incredible rotating destinations throughout Colorado Springs and our Monday Garden Gears and Buffalo Beers is a tour of Garden of the Gods Park, right in our back yard less that a mile away.

There’s no better way to kick off the holiday season than with a big community bike ride full of cycling Santas! Whether you live in town or are looking for a great time to visit the Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort, check out this episode of Pedal the Springs podcast to find out more about our Annual Cycling Santa & Chasing Santa 5k, coming up December 2, 2023 – and register at ChasingSanta.com. Listen to get a registration discount code.
It’s been an annual holiday tradition since the Buffalo Lodge became the Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort 7 years ago. The first Saturday in December we trade in our kits for Santa Suits to ride a spread cheer through our community. The Cycling Santa benefits Christmas Unlimited and participants are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy to help kids less fortunate in our community.
The ride has something for every ability, from 6 to 10 miles to the 22 mile full route. The routes travel along the Pikes Peak Greenway and are all relatively flat. The long ride continues through downtown Colorado Springs and Old Colorado City to the Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort for a big waffle breakfast and party before heading back to the start. In this episode of “Pedal the Springs” we talk with the event organizer, volunteers and participants for all of the exciting details about the event.
