Fort Collins Trials Bash 2025
2025-10-11 13:00 - 2025-10-12 19:00 (America/New_York) | Fort Collins, CO, CO, United States
Welcome to the 1st annual FoCo Trials Bash!!!
The goal of this event is to hold a fun, inclusive weekend of trials riding and hanging out in the great city of Fort Collins, Colorado, with an afterparty at Robbie Pfunder’s house.
It’s about time we got a good trials showing up in FoCo!
Early October is prime time in FoCo with temperatures just right, and the water levels low, which unlocks special rocks to ride at Horsetooth Reservoir and the Poudre River!
These are both epic natural spots with unique challenging terrain.
Riders will meet at Robbie’s house Saturday morning and we’ll all convoy up to our first riding spot.
Robbie will bring colored duct tape in case we want to set “mock” practice gates to challenge each other and get creative with riding lines. Again, these gates are just for fun and there will be no score keeping.
**There will be an AFTERPARTAAAYYY with food, drinks and a backyard hang out at Robbie’s house after riding on Saturday!**
??Possible evening movie showing as well ??
(Think: Retro Trials!)
Riders are also welcome and encouraged to spend the night at Robbie’s house so everyone is already congregated for the Sunday group ride!
There is a decent sized backyard for tent camping ⛺️ and lots of floor space inside the house for anyone to utilize.
***You’ll need to bring your own gear like a tent, sleeping bag, mattress pad, pillow, etc.****
Post ride shower will be available too! But you’ll probably just rinse off in the Poudre River and be good to go ?
a $10 donation is suggested to cover food/drinks
This event description will be a constant work in progress so check back for any updates or changes! Details can be found in the event listing on the USA Bike Trials Riders Facebook group, where you can also contact Robbie.
