Our Mission

Friends of FoCo Fondo creates access, opportunity, and community connection for people who ride bikes or want to ride bikes.

Leadership Program

Our Leadership Program was established to create space for local leaders in four key historically underrepresented areas in cycling: BIPOC, Non-Binary/Gender Expansive, Para, and Women. Each one of these leaders belongs to the underrepresented areas that they lead.

We are compensating each of these local leaders for their time and to continue to grow deep roots in Fort Collins while lifting and supporting athletes everywhere.

Learn more about our leaders and the groups they serve.

Clinics

Confidence on the bike looks different for everyone. For some, it’s simply getting comfortable on the bike for a short ride with friends without stopping at every turn to navigate the apex. For others, it’s being offered the opportunity to learn in a group of women without the pressure of another gender. And for others, it could be improving on existing skills to crush their longest ride ever.

Whatever confidence looks like for you, we have a handful of clinics to help you build your confidence your way and find belonging on the bike.

Keep an eye on our calendar for future events.
