The 2011 Epic at Buffalo Creek was AWESOME!

The Trailblazers extend our most sincere compliments to all the volunteers that came out for the 2011 Epic.  We built some great single track, got to ride/hike and enjoyed camaraderie with our friends.  The support from our cash sponsors, i.e., Specialized and M Give,  and in-kind sponsors, i.e., BikeSource, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Finish Line, Home Depot, King Soopers, Natural Grocers, Powerade, QBP, REI, Rock Bottom Brewery and Starbucks, was outstanding and the Wizards of Whack rocked. Click here to check out the Epic gallery!

Great news, we’ve been notified that the 2011 joint grant application by the S. Platte Ranger District, USDA Forest Service and Colorado Trailblazers for the superstructure of the trail bridge over Buffalo Creek for the Nice Kitty Trail has been approved and fully funded for $42,350 by the Colorado State Parks State Trails Program!!!  This completes funding for the total estimated construction cost of $74,930 necessary to move forward with building the bridge.  Our gratitude and appreciation go out to the State Trails Program, S. Platte Ranger District, South Platte Enhancement Board, REI, Chris Romer, 18th Judicial District Juvenile Diversion Counseling Program and North Fork Fire & Rescue.  So, we need to get the trail to the bridge.

Come join us to finish up this great trail addition to the Buffalo Creek Recreation Area!
