SEPTEMBER IN BIKENRIDGE
September in Breckenridge. I say this every year, but it’s hard to believe September is already here! I hope you are all having a fantastic Labor Day weekend. I noticed a lot of hikers, bikers, and runners on the trail this weekend. Everyone I encountered was super courteous and friendly. There is still SO much riding left in the season. A couple of trails to have on your radar for September, Back Door and Red Pig (almost completed). The mornings are chilly, but the afternoons warm right up. It has been dry in Breckenridge for a couple of weeks with a Stage 1 Fire Restrictions. So please be aware. Finally, this will be the last useletter of the season. Behind the scenes, we have some big travel plans for the winter. If you would like to follow our travel escapades, I will be sharing travel tips and adventures from around the globe.

THE DIRT
Trail Construction and Maintenance. Around the county and specifically in Breckenridge, the Friends of Breckenridge Trails has been working hard on maintenance and trail building. There is one more big push to complete the Redpig Trail on September 7th. If you love Breckenridge Trails than give back! Plan your fall foilage rides for Mid to late-September says the Smokymountain.com prediction calendar. The stunning yellow, oranges, and reds will be at their peak.

Aspen Alley – 1.3-Mile descent. Great add-on trail to town from a Boreas Pass ride. Local favorite.
