What we’re about
This group is for active individuals over the age of fifty who are looking to stay fit, have fun, and make new friends in the Northern Colorado area. Let's come together to exercise our bodies, minds, and spirits. Join us for regular meetups and special events geared towards staying active and having a good time.
Fitness is my primary focus. Fitness, by my definition, involves both an active body and mind. Joy and laughter are as important as sweat. Exercise in the company of others makes it enjoyable, not a chore.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Tuesday at Ten Piddle PaddleHorsetooth Reservoir, Inlet Bay Boat Ramp, Fort Collins, CO
This event is about socializing and soaking in nature. Beginners are welcome. I expect to be on the water for 2 hours. I usually will return to my place and provide a lunch for participants, but not this week. After this hike I am going camping at State Forest State Park. I'm bringing my paddling stuff, there are 2 lakes to try.
I will push off from the boat ramp at 10:00. I will be there at 9:30 to assist others with their gear and have my boat ready.
I have 2 spare paddle board-kayaks (see pictures). They can be a Stand Up Paddle Board or a Sit On Top Kayak if you use a seat and I have 2 extra seats. I have the paddles and the life jackets as well. If you want to borrow one of my boards, please let me know when you RSVP. That way the boards won't be overbooked.
The boat ramp uses the marina parking lot. You must have a Larimer County Parks Pass to park there. If you love the outdoors, you should get the annual pass. One can be purchased on your way at the South Bay Visitor Center.

- West Side Joe and the Men of Soul @ the Magic RatMagic Rat, Fort Collins, CO
West Side Joe and the Men of Soul delivers enormous grooves and genuine guitar swagger. Their strong, uplifting original material draws from Memphis and Chicago blues, garage rock, and early New Orleans funkified R&B. Music Sample.
