An $8,000 grant from Bikes Belong will support Team Evergreen Trailblazers' trail work in the Buffalo Creek Recreation Area of the Pike National Forest. A major destination for mountain bikers from the Denver and Colorado Springs metro areas, the trail system at Buffalo Creek is well loved—and well used. Trail expansion there will help mitigate user conflict by giving equestrians, mountain bikers, and hikers more room to ride and roam. Team Evergreen Trailblazers is the nonprofit, volunteer trailbuilding arm of Team Evergreen Bicycle Club. They bring planning, equipment, trained trail-crew leaders, and enthusiastic volunteers to trail projects across Colorado's Front Range. Last year alone, the group contributed 655 trail-work hours to the USFS in the Buffalo Creek Recreation Area and 42 trail-work hours to other land managers in the Front Range.

Bikes Belong is thrilled to award four grants to great projects in the summer funding cycle. These grant awards will help construct community paths in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Oklahoma—and build some beautiful Colorado singletrack!
