RAR Front Range

RAR Front Range was established in early 2023 after members of the core team connected over their desires of having a more inclusive, welcoming, and diverse bike culture for FTWN-B and BIPOC bikepackers and adventure cyclists in the Front Range of Colorado.

The team is excited to grow the FTWN-B and BIPOC cycling community in CO and looking forward to spreading joy through education, rides, adventure, and community connection! We plan on hosting our own events and meetups as well as partnering with and supporting local shops, businesses, and other cycling groups/organizations in all the work we do. 

Alyssa Gonzalez

Alyssa (she/her) is a multidisciplinary creative, community organizer, and advocate for Queer , FTWN-B, and BIPOC folks in the outdoors. She first experienced mountains and outdoor sports in 2016 after moving to Colorado for graduate school and is now passionate about introducing the joy of movement and the outdoors to her community. Alyssa loves to learn new things and enjoys being challenged by the constantly evolving world around her.  When she’s not on a bike or working as a Director of Marketing and Design, you can find Alyssa cooking something special from one of her many cookbooks or cuddling with her two cats. Also – she’s always dreamed of owning her own business and plans on opening the first Queer, WOC-owned bike shop in CO in the Fall!
