mountain biking across colorado

The Cycle Effect serves communities across Colorado through two powerful programs: the Girls Mountain Bike Program and Mujeres y Pedales, our women’s cycling initiative. In each location—whether it’s the high alpine trails of Summit and Eagle Counties, the rugged desert terrain of Mesa County, or the tight-knit mountain community in Routt—these programs provide athletes with consistent coaching, meaningful mentorship, and a supportive team culture.
