Edge of the Mountain Sport & Social - NOCO/WY

Let's ride/run the Old Man Winter (OMW) rally on 2/1/26! See oldmanwinterrally.com for all the deets. There are a variety of events (ride only, run only, ride and run) and distances. Registration fees vary accordingly (and depend on the event, distance, and when you register).

I've done this a couple of times. It's very fun. Great vibe, a party, food, drinks, swag, etc. But obviously the weather on Feb 1 can be HIGHLY variable. I learned my lesson in 2024 ($200 in parts and 3 hours to make my bike right again). I'll go if it's cold, but will bag it if it's wet and sloppy.

Given that it'll be very early season, I'm going to ride one of the shorter distances.

This is "A Top 10 Must Ride Gravel Event," at least according to Bicycling magazine.

You'll need to handle your own registration at the url above. Sign up here if you want to coordinate on a carpool to Lyons and/or want some other peeps to ride with. We can work out all the logistics as the event gets closer.

Hey guys,
We did a trip up to RMNP in January and it was a blast!
I think some of us recently discussed doing another trip which includes some of the other natural features in that area of RMNP.
I've decided to post a trip for Super Bowl weekend which will include Alberta Falls, Mills and Jewel Lake which are all in the vicinity of the Bear Lake Corridor.
You're welcome to ski, snowshoe or use traction on the hike that will be a total of 5.9 miles round trip covering an elevation gain of 883 feet (see photos for route)
If you haven't been it's pretty amazing between the views of the alpine lakes and high peaks off in the distance. We'll plan to meet in Estes Park and then carpool up to the park for some fun! Post ski lunch in Estes Park somewhere. : )
Hope to see you on the trail!

*If you're looking to rent ski's or snowshoes for the day. JAX rents them for $20 a day. I believe REI also rents them.
