Palmer Park Parking Lot, 3650 Maizeland Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80909
ROUTE LINK TBD

The Black Foxes (Alexa & Nikki) and RAR Front Range will lead a fun, short, chill pace ride in Palmer Park to check out the race area for Day 1 of Pike’s Peak APEX. MTB ONLY! Our mission is to make space for and encourage more BIPOC to try mtb and racing. Rockshox will also provide a suspension tuning clinic. We are prioritizing green trails for beginners to have a good time.  This is a NO DROP ride where we will maintain a social pace <5-10 mph, and make stops as necessary to regroup. More experienced riders are welcome to try more difficult trails but will not be guided. We estimate 1.5 to 2.5 hours of riding time depending on the group's pace.

*If you want to try this mtb ride but don’t have access to a mountain bike, please contact us at theeblackfoxes@gmail.com. We may have bikes to borrow/demo!

*If you are interested in racing at Pike’s Peak APEX, please contact The Black Foxes at theeblackfoxes@gmail.com. Rockshox and Pike’s Peak APEX have support available for BIPOC riders who want to experience the epic challenge on these fun trails!
