Opening Day Celebration Set for The Sherbino in Ridgway
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Bill Hall, RAT Chapter Chair, rat@copmoba.org
Ridgway, CO (April 24, 2026): Ridgway Area Trails (RAT), a chapter of the Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association (COPMOBA), will reopen Friday, May 1, following its annual seasonal closure. The reopening coincides with the completion of new trails added as part of RAT's Trail Expansion Project, which were finished ahead of the December 1 closure.
The expansion added just over six miles of new trail across nine new segments. The project is a culmination of thousands of volunteer hours and the dedication of local trail builders, community partners, and public land agencies. Crews and volunteers contributed more than 2,000 hours of work to bring the new trails to life.

Take Action: Stop the Senate’s Plan to Sell Off Public Lands
Senator Mike Lee just introduced a new proposal to sell off public lands—this time targeting BLM lands near communities across the West.
His previous attempt to force the sale of 3.3 million acres was rejected earlier this week, following massive public outcry. But he's back with a plan to require the sale of up to 1.2 million acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, focused specifically on areas close to population centers, putting your close-to-home recreation in the crosshairs.
Outdoor Alliance's GIS Lab is analyzing the bill, and our preliminary review shows significant overlap between recreation areas and lands that could be sold. From hiking trails to climbing crags, from mountain bike routes to rivers, the places we love could be at risk.
The outdoor community has already shown that public lands sell-offs are a losing proposition—and Senator Lee just won't take no for an answer. Now we need to raise our voices again.
