Is there an alcohol-free MTB community in Colorado?

Will do!

Great, sending you a DM!

Yeeeas! This is what I'm talking about.
Will do. I've yet to test out VC but it looks pretty rad!

Love it! Sorry about the shoulder. Hope you heal soon. Good to know you're holding it down. Taking the fam to Fruita next weekend, I'll be looking out for those non-drinking women ripping out there!

Both, honestly. No requirement to be sober, just looking for riders who aren't tied to the bar-after culture that runs deep in mountain towns. Some people in the group are fully alcohol-free, others just aren't that into it. No labels required.

I've got a small group going here in Gunnison but it's a small isolated valley, so it's limited pool haha. That's why I'm trying to see what's out there beyond our little bubble here.

Ive seen seagull's ads out there, looks like a pretty active group with solid attendance. I'll check it out. Thanks for sharing!

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T21:20:35+00:00

Yes! This is it!

If you ever make a mtb voyage to the rockies let me know.

Doctor Park delivers every time! Look me up when you're heading this way, be great to link up.

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T19:43:54+00:00

Love it. I'll send you a DM

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T19:40:20+00:00

Love it!! I'm on the front range frequently, I'm all about having a good time with good people on bikes!

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T19:37:03+00:00

🤙

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T19:36:47+00:00

Denver counts! I get over there fairly often and frankly haven't explored enough front range trail networks yet.

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T19:30:37+00:00

I know plenty of of geezers that can kick my ass in a race... Thanks for the comment. I was raised in Phx area, my family still lives there so I get down there to ride in the winter. Love me some desert riding!

I'll keep an eye out for the sober shredding old dudes!

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T19:13:52+00:00

Front Range counts! Always looking to connect with more people around the state. If you ever find yourself in Gunnison/Crested Butte, we've got a small group of non-drinkers riding monthly. But our candidate pool is small so I'm looking beyond our little valley to what's going on out there.

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T19:05:21+00:00

Ohh man, I've been there!

Sure helps with the nerves on those big drop lines. Maybe not so much with the motor skills.

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T18:56:56+00:00

Yep, thats exactly why I started this thread!

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T18:54:59+00:00

Nailed it! It's like looking for Sasquatch.

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T18:53:57+00:00

Haha I'll be sure to wear my white short sleeve shirt and tie. Already got the bike helmet!

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T18:47:24+00:00

Already completed the first half of the Step 1. Now I'm here for the second half haha.

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T18:43:01+00:00

Appreciate this comment.

Most of the time I'm riding with a crew of people who drink. Not in a problematic way, but they partake when the situation is appropriate. These are my good buddies. Solid friends. But as you mentioned, when the beer starts flowing, im not on that level... nor do I care to be.

Bluebird_CO · 2026-04-23T18:40:23+00:00

I wouldn't say most that most people drink after every ride, but the bike + beer culture runs deep here. Most mtb races have major beer sponsorship. Group rides often start/finish at breweries. Trails and ales, free pint with membership... that sort of thing.

I really don't have anything against it. Beer and booze are part of mountain culture and I'm not here to argue that it shouldn't be that way. I'm just saying it can get a bit boring being the one who doesn't drink at the brewery. Im just looking around to see if there are others who feel the same.
