Of course Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m describing one of my first, recent, mountain bike rides (saddle, as in bike seat, steed as in mountain bike) on the phenomenal new Beck Lake trail system in Cody, Wyoming. When you live in Wyoming, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the wind to die down to go for a ride . . . be it by horse or by bike.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what bike riding is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like horse back riding,â&#x20AC;? said Kalyn Beasley, who rides both horses and mountain bikes in his hometown of Cody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same freedom DQG VSHHG DQG HQMR\PHQW RI ULGLQJ D KRUVH without having to feed it.â&#x20AC;?

Horses and the cowboy legacy have long beat at the heart of northwest Wyomingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity.

And while this remains an essential piece of Wyomingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage and modern-day experience, a new mode of exploration has begun to roll across the land. And as surely as Wyoming is made for horse lovers, Wyoming is made for bike lovers.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the process of discovering this awesome backyard we have in Cody, it led me to discover the trail system we have here, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Guyer of Billings, who originally moved to Cody for the climbing opportunities and became so impressed with the mountain biking possibilities that he is now in the process of opening a bike shop in downtown Cody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coupled with the lack of people - you feel you have the place to yourself. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this sense of exploration like you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around the next corner,â&#x20AC;? Chris went on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find mountain biking in other places. Here, the network and amount of trails lends itself to giving this real feeling of adventure. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that in Bozeman or Helena; you go on the trails, you run into people, and the more people you see, the less of that wilderness experience you get.

But you always get that experience in Cody â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you get that in Wyoming.â&#x20AC;?

More and more locals are finding a shared love in exploring Wyoming by bike. That growing biker energy shot to electric heights the night of the Park County Pedalers Benefit, March 12, 2016. A record number – somewhere close to 400 – came out to cheers Montana brews (Red Lodge Ales), dance to Wyoming music (Jalan Crossland and Kalyn Beasley), and support biking in their home community.

“Reflecting on that evening, looking around that room, you would turn around, and every single person you would walk up to, it was like, ‘Oh! So glad you’re here, and this is so exciting!’” said Rene Huge, one of the pioneer women who ignited the mountain biking culture in Cody by founding a group called the Biker Chix over 20 years ago. “It was so great to have that kind of energy that night – it gave me goose bumps to reflect on it just now. I had this yummy little chill go up my spine.”

“It does signify a turning point, if you will,” Rene continued. “There’s a lot going on right now with [mountain biking], and we’re just barely tapping into the surface as far as I can tell.”

During the past year, Cody’s Beck Lake area has become home to 10 miles of brand new, purpose built single-track trails. Some of that mileage hand-built by bike loving volunteers/Park County Pedalers, and most created by Trail Source, a Minnesota-based company and member of the Professional Trail Builder Association. Trail Source is currently finishing the last in this addition of trails, which will add another 0.7 miles of track. The design is also underway for a mountain biking park with jumps and pump tracks that will be added to the Beck Lake area later this summer.

The Park County Pedalers are largely responsible for beginning to transform the Cody mountain biking opportunities from narrow, jagged cow trails to spacious, smooth flow trails.

“Back when the Biker Chix first started riding, it was rough because a lot of us were still riding hardtail frames, and of course you know how smooth cow trails can be,” said Rene. “So now I go out there, and I get on these new purpose-built super highway single track trails, and I look back on those days, and think, ‘Man, we were the hardcore ones!’

“Now, people now are coming out of the woodwork to ride, and rightly so because what we have here is awesome,” Rene said. “Twenty years ago, when I started riding here, I didn’t know how much better it could get. And now we have all this, and it’s just so exciting to see so many people taking advantage of it and learning and experiencing that same thrill that I can’t live without.”

Many credit the immense Park County mountain biking progress made thus far to Park County Pedalers President John Gallagher.

“It’s amazing now, there are so many more options IN TOWN. You don’t have to drive anywhere, and you’re not going to get bored on these new trails because there are so many different levels of riding,” said Cody Biker Chick and mountain biker of 24 years, Laurie Parker. “This has EHFRPH D PHFFD 7KDQNV WR -RKQ *DOODJKHU (YHU\ WLPH ,áP RXW WKHUH on the trails, I say a little thank you to John. He is so devoted, as are the many people out there on those trails working. That’s what really makes it happen.”

Grants from the Wyoming Trails Program, the Shoshone Recreation District, private donations and fundraisers like last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefit paid for the new Beck Lake trails. No funds toward this type of trail building or improvement have yet come from the City or County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recreation is one of the fastest-growing economies in the Rocky Mountain region, hands down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more people are wanting to get outside and to put the money into it in this place,â&#x20AC;? said professional athlete and avid outdoor sportsman and adventurer Aaron Mulkey of Cody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cody has amazing things right out its backdoor Ă&#x17E; PRXQWDLQ ELNLQJ ND\DNLQJ FOLPELQJ 3HRSOH SXW %RXOGHU RQ WKLV SHGHVWDO DQG Cody has everything it has, and more, and better, and people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. We are so behind the times when it comes to providing these things and investing money into the trails. Focusing on and investing in the recreational opportunities would make this place a marketable destination to travel to and to live in as well.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know [the trails] can contribute to our economy - it really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a goal of this, but I knew it would happen,â&#x20AC;? said John Gallagher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We already see cars from out of town parked out at Beck Lake â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from Billings, Bozeman, Red Lodge and states farther away. People find out and come to ride them; There are not many flow trails around, and people will come and will ride them. When theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here, they have food and drink afterwards and undoubtedly some will extend their vacations.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know of anything else built in Cody that brings in a whole new group of people.â&#x20AC;?

While spreading the word about Wyomingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mountain biking opportunities can help grow our economy, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slim chance our trails will be too full anytime soon.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the vastness of the land... â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like an article is going to publish, and people are going to show up overnight and our trails are going to be flooded, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not the case,â&#x20AC;? said Chris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wyoming is VAST. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much terrain and opportunity to explore; I doubt it will ever really lose that feel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned about. I am a firm believer in sharing the things I love and appreciate, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only important to me, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important as a community and moving forward. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather share it.â&#x20AC;?

And of course, the wind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like outdoors, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not tough enough to step into some wind driving and some elements, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to like it here,â&#x20AC;? said Laurie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our weather can get rough, and it can be long, and the wind is just part of the whole thing.â&#x20AC;?

At the heart of these new trails is preserving and creating a chance for future Wyoming generations to connect with the great Wyoming outdoors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the reasons we wanted to live here in Cody was to have the opportunity to mountain bike in a place like this, and to have these trails for our kids,â&#x20AC;? said Park County Pedaler Jesse Renfors of Cody, who moved here with his family from Michigan, and has been on a bike his whole life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing these trails for our kids. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be here through the test of time as well built as they are. These kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how well theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have it.â&#x20AC;?

Perhaps the best way to sum up the burgeoning Wyoming mountain biking scene comes from Jesseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8-year-old son, Owen Renfors, who loves to bike the new trails: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super fun.. you should try it! Go get yourself a bike and try it out.â&#x20AC;?
