Photos: Lory State Park pump track
The bike park is a wild success, with 25-35 riders visiting each non-snowy weekend day. The dream goal was 40 a week, so this is a great sign. Last week a vanload of us went up for a little photo shoot. This track is so rad.
 Steve Wentz, Ariel Lindsley and Zach Griffith wind through the Esses. |
 Entering the Esses. Steve, Zach, Abby Hippely and Tammy Donahue. |
Now that the first Snail is packed, you can actually rail it and carry speed into the second. Steve and Zach. |
 There’s plenty of room for everyone. Steve and Zach rip the Esses while Tammy and Abby rock the outside loop. |
 Mandatory dork style. I transfer from the Snails to the Esses. |
These shots and a story will appear in a trail management book IMBA will publish in 2007.

Lory State Bike Park is the coolest… just make sure your running Stans or you bring a few extra tubes with you… thorn city.
How do we get a place like this in Denver?
lee, we must go there soon.

Now that you’ve completed Lory State Park. If you had relatively the same flat ground, dirt, and equipment-how long would it take to complete using the same layout? Can you get in touch with me-we have a couple Parks and Recreation opportunities to implement a similar park. We currently have some grant money, and will be applying for more in the next month for upcoming projects. thanks
It’ll take about a week. I’ll email you right now.
Coming from san diego to visit Lory State Park next week. Are there people riding there on a daily basis? Also, anything going on in preparation for the grand opening (http://parks.state.co.us/News/CalendarofEvents/index.asp?EventID=13693) on June 16? Still thorny?
Thanks,
Danny
sweet!
dunno re: the prep.
not sure on the thorns — tire liners never hurt …

Great tip, thanks.
Forgot to mention that your site and the postings on Lory are the reason my girlfriend and I
are taking our vacation to go there! We can’t wait….
Lee, your link to the PDF is incorrect. It’s a PDF and not a JPG. All you need to do is change the link. See you Saturday if you are at Lory.
