The prospect of a new mountain bike venue in Colorado Springs coincides with a struggling effort to reimagine an old one. It s not either/or, said Cory Sutela, executive director of Medicine Wheel Trail Advocates, the sport s leading advocacy group locally.
But momentum sides with an envisioned series of rollers, berms and other skill-building spoils at Cresta Open Space on the city s southwest side. Meanwhile, on the northeast, dreams continue for a better Goose Gossage Bike Park. Make Goose Gossage Great Again, goes the name of the GoFundMe that started in early April, aimed at improving dirt jumps in need of better soil and, more expensive and logistical, a reliable source of water for sculpting ramps.
