September 25-27, 2026 · Inlet Bay at Horsetooth · That's a wrap
Thank You,
Northern
Colorado
Three days of singletrack, sunshine, and the best mountain bike community on the Front Range. You showed up, and it was everything we hoped for.
From all of us at Overland
2026 IS IN THE BOOKS
The first Northern Colorado Mountain Bike Festival is done. Demo bikes went out and came back muddy, the Poker Ride filled five checkpoints worth of trail with riders, families turned up for Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day, and the campground stayed loud until it got cold.
A community festival only works if the community actually shows up. Ours did — and then helped pack it down at the end.
All proceeds go back into Northern Colorado trails.
Everyone who rode
You bought a pass, pitched a tent, and spent a weekend on the trails with people you'd never met. That's the whole festival.
The volunteers
Check-in, parking, course marshals, camp hosts, the beer garden crew. Nobody was paid and nothing would have run without you.
Ride leaders and coaches
Group ride leaders who gave up their own riding to show folks around, and the Ninja MTB coaches who ran the clinics.
Brands, shops, and vendors
Everyone who hauled a trailer of demo bikes or a booth out to Inlet Bay and stood in the sun all weekend talking bikes.
Larimer County & Inlet Bay
For letting a few hundred mountain bikers take over the campground and trusting us to leave it the way we found it.
The sponsors
Local businesses who put real money behind a first-of-its-kind weekend before anyone could prove it would work.
Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day ran on its own small army of supporters: Recycled Cycles, Scheels, Walrus Ice Cream, Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, and Cinnamon's Bakery Loveland Yards. Thank you, all of you.
Huge thanks to
Our Supporters
Presented by Overland Mountain Bike Association, and paid for by businesses who believe Northern Colorado deserves its own festival.
