Rogue Veterans Mountain Bike Alliance

Freedom is something worth celebrating, and this year made it even more special as America marked its 250th anniversary.

On the 4th of July, Rogue Veterans Mountain Bike Alliance kicked things off with an awesome ride on Pipeline Trail before gathering for a BBQ with great food, good friends, and plenty of laughs. It was a perfect way to celebrate the freedoms we've all served to protect while spending time with an incredible community of veterans, active duty service members, family, and friends.

Thank you to everyone who came out to ride, share a meal, and celebrate 250 years of America with us. Here's to many more miles, many more memories, and the friendships that make Rogue what it is.

🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

Pikes Peak Plummet delivered once again!
This past Saturday, Rogue Veterans Mountain Bike Alliance led a joint ride with our friends from Dirt Therapy Project Colorado on one of Colorado's iconic backcountry routes.
We started at Elk Park, worked our way through the chunky, technical rock gardens before dropping onto Barr Trail, then took a well-earned break at the cabin. From there, it was time for the infamous Lake Moraine climb. It was a grind, but everyone dug deep, kept the pedals turning, and earned every foot of elevation.
Once we connected into Jones Park, it was game on. Fast, flowing singletrack, technical features, and an incredible descent made every bit of the climb worth it.
Rogue set the pace, and everyone rose to the challenge. It was awesome seeing riders push themselves, conquer new obstacles, and encourage one another all day long.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, especially our friends from Dirt Therapy Project Colorado. Days like this are exactly what Rogue is about: challenging ourselves, building friendships, and getting veterans out on amazing trails.
Already looking forward to the next one. See you on the trail!

🔥 July is packed with adventure! 🔥

We've got two awesome events coming up, and we hope you'll join us on the trail!

🍔 July 4 – Pipeline Ride & BBQ
Bring the family out for a fun ride followed by a BBQ with your fellow Rogue members. We'll wrap things up early so everyone still has plenty of time to enjoy the evening fireworks.

Visit the event pages to RSVP and get all the details. We can't wait to see everyone out on the trails!

Limbaugh Canyon delivered the goods!
Our first official joint ride with Dirt Therapy Project was packed with epic views, great trails, plenty of laughs, and the kind of good company that makes every climb worth it. From the trailhead to the final mile, it was one of those rides where nobody wanted the day to end.
There's something special about getting two great organizations together, turning pedals, swapping stories, and reminding ourselves why we love being out here in the first place.
If you're active duty or a veteran and you've been sitting on the couch wondering if you should come ride with us, the answer is yes. The trails aren't getting any shorter, and the memories aren't going to make themselves.
Come ride bikes. Meet good people. Get a little dirty. Repeat.

Memorial Day in Virginia Canyon and Idaho Springs was absolute chaos in the best way possible.

Big climbs, wild jumps, fast descents, and enough close calls to keep things interesting. At one point we watched somebody go off a cliff and somehow survive it. Never a dull moment with this crew.

But Memorial Day is bigger than bikes. We ride to remember the men and women who never made it home and to honor the freedom they fought for.

Veterans, active duty, reserves, and friends all together doing what we love.

Memorial Day in Virginia Canyon and Idaho Springs did not disappoint.

Big climbs, wild jumps, fast lines, sketchy moments, and enough adrenaline to keep everyone awake for a week. At one point we watched somebody go off a cliff and somehow walk away from it. Definitely one of those rides where there’s never a dull moment.

But more importantly, Memorial Day is about remembering the men and women who never made it home. Every ride like this reminds us how lucky we are to still be here with our friends, our families, and our community.

We ride hard because we remember our fallen.

Veterans, active duty, reserves, and friends all getting after it together. That’s what Rogue is about.

Weekday rides are in full swing and Rogue has been getting after it all week. We kicked things off with a morning ride out at Oil Well Flats, chased sunset laps through Ute Valley Park in the evening, and this Sunday Dirt Church heads back to the Canyon.
Rogue has never just been about bikes. It’s about riding with your brothers and sisters, building community, and making sure nobody rides alone. Active duty, reserve, and veterans are always welcome. That’s what Rogue is all about.
No matter your pace, bike, or skill level, the goal stays the same: good people, good trails, and a reason to get outside instead of sitting at home staring at your phone pretending you were going to ride anyway.
Come put in some miles, laugh at your friends when they dab a climb, and enjoy the chaos that comes with a crew of mountain bikers rolling through Colorado Springs together.
See you on the trail.
