In 2018 and 2020, the RRMMC applied for grant funding from the Colorado OHV fund to create two educational opportunities at Rampart Range: an enduro skills training area and a true beginner training area. Now in 2023, we are finally getting closer to seeing this project come to fruition!

As of 3/30/23, we have entered the public comment phase of the project and we are asking for your assistance in sharing feedback to the USFS in support of the project.

We’ve included the project details here below, but ask that you share comments in your own voice. Tell the USFS why YOU want to see these riding opportunities at Rampart Range and how you think our community will benefit from them. Feel free to share personal stories and examples.

Deadline for comments is 4/28/23.

Overview:
With this project, we can provide the opportunities and increased access that motorized users are currently seeking and will continue to pursue as their skills develop. Creating these educational experiences supports the RRMMC’s goals of fostering stewardship and responsible recreation.

Project Goals:
Provide recreational opportunities for users that match their needs.
Expand the Dutch Fred at Rampart Range area into a greater enrichment area with education and skills training for varying levels of experience, including an intermediate/advanced enduro skills area and a true beginner training area.
Provide information to users regarding stewardship.

Why is this Necessary?
There is a need among Rampart Range’s users for intermediate, advanced, and true beginner’s riding opportunities where trail riders can learn to operate a dirt bike in the manner that is necessary for the challenges they will face on the trail.
Rampart Range’s visitors are looking for a designated place for education and practice. Currently, there are no designated educational opportunities at Rampart Range for skills development for true beginners and experienced motorized users.
Riders that have the skills to ride over a log or navigate challenging terrain are more likely to stay the trail when they face these obstacles on the trail.
More and more new riders are entering the sport and many riders today are looking for additional challenges.
