Red Rock Open Space

Freeriding seems to be all the rage these days. Freeriding still doesn’t seem well defined but the north shore style includes teter teeters and ramps. The “not so fat” Fat Cyclist wrote about building a teeter recently. Quite honestly I like what I ride on to not move very much. I’ve had a problem with the freeride stuff that I’ve seen because most of it has been in Ute Valley Park. It was there illegally and kept getting removed but trails were getting worn where there shouldn’t have been trails.

Now there’s a legal place to do freeride in Colorado Springs. Actually it’s still a work in progress. Medicine Wheel has been working on a freeride/skills park at the base of Red Rock Open Space. This last Thursday night they set up lights so that more work could be done since it’s getting dark early. Tomorrow will be another work day. It’s all done by volunteers and Medicine Wheel has a page and e-mail list for Red Rock Open Space work.
