Who We Are
The Rocky Mountain Bicycle Boys is an informal group of people who are enthusiastic about the sport of mountain biking. Members tend to favor challenging single track trails, especially those in Colorado’s high country. The group sponsors frequent weekend and holiday trips throughout the riding season, which runs from April through October. Several multi-day trips are scheduled each year at locations such as Moab, Fruita, Crested Butte, Steamboat Springs, Winter Park, Vail, Durango and Telluride. Moreover, there are frequent day rides on trails in the foothills near Denver. In addition to planned rides, members often get together for more spontaneous day rides. Be sure to examine the “Rides” page to learn more about club rides.
History
The Rocky Mountain Bicycle Boys was founded in 1985 by a group of gay men and continues to be comprised mainly of gay riders. However, the club is open to and welcomes both men and women of any sexual orientation who are passionate about off road riding. Originally called the Bicycle Boys From Hell, the organization adopted its present name in 2002.
Ability
Most of those belonging to the Bicycle Boys are accomplished back country riders, and the rides we engage in are both physically challenging and technically demanding. That said, outings are planned by club members, who are free to pick the locale and terrain they wish to ride. Everyone in the group started as a neophyte, and the club encourages those new to mountain biking to do rides they are comfortable with and gradually acquire the skill and endurance to become more proficient riders.
Meetings
Members gather on the first Wednesday of each Month, March thru October, for a potluck dinner and a meeting to discuss upcoming rides. Different people host these social affairs at their homes in the Denver area. Those new to the area or to the sport of mountain biking are encouraged to attend these potlucks to meet club members and share their enthusiasm for riding.
Membership
Those who regularly ride with the Bicycle Boys are encouraged to contribute $20 per year ($30 per year for couples, both of whom are active riders) to help the club maintain this web site and fund social events through the riding season.
