St. Patrick's Day Bike Ride and Parade

Ride with Go West in the St. Patrick's Day Parade

Saturday March 12th Go West will be partnering with the Colorado Springs Cycling Club to provide volunteer support at the finish of the annual bike ride.

There are several ways for you and your kids to participate. Your family can participate in the ride. Registration in advance is required. Click here for more information about the courses and to register. The ride starts at 8:30am. The family course would be a great ride primarily on the Greenway Trail. Andrew, Arianne, Kaylin and Dave will be there when you finish providing water and snacks to all of the riders. 

If you don't feel like doing the ride you can join us at the finish to help had out snacks and water to the riders as they finish. We could use help starting at 10am. The finish is at Cascade and St.Vrain. Click here for a map. You can find parking on the street near the finish.

Wether you ride or just help at the finish we would love to have everyone join us in the parade. We will be walking and riding bikes down Tejon. Click here to see the parade route. Please arrive at the bike ride finish (click here for a map) no later than 11am. We will assemble at the beginning of the parade route at 11:30am and the parade will start at 12:00pm. Help us represent, PLEASE WEAR YOUR GO WEST T-SHIRTS! We will provide supplies to turn our bikes green!

We can provide a bike for the ride and to ride in the parade if needed. If you are planning to participate in any of the day's events please email Andrew (andrew@gowestcamps.com) to RSVP.

This is a great opportunity for kids to reconnect with their camp friends from last summer and meet some of our new families who will be sending kids this summer!

Go West Alumni Ride to the Kids On Bikes Great Bicycle Carnival

Come and join with other alumni families from the summer as we ride together as a group in the Kids On Bikes Great Bicycle Carnival.

We are encouraging families to come and ride together. If you would like to drop the kids off with us for the day that is also an option.

We will be meeting at the Woodmen Park and Ride and will leave promptly at 10:00am. We will be riding to the Popsicle Bridge and then onto Monument Valley Park for the festivities. All of the bikes in our fleet will be available to ride. We are encouraging campers who have their own bike to bring it allowing us to include as many campers as we can.

There will be a small fee for the day (just $10). This will cover the cost of lunch for each participant. Chef Lyn is planning to provide lunch from the Seeds food truck for our camp families.

We will return to the park and ride at 3:00pm and we ask families to pick up their campers at 3:00pm.

We need your help to share the Go West experience with your friends. We are encouraging our campers from the summer to bring friends to this event. Please ask your friends to complete the online registration so that we know how many to expect for the day.

We want to make sure to show our camp spirit and we would love to see everyone in their tie dye Go West shirts. We have also been encouraged to decorate our bikes. We will provide some supplies but if you plan to bring a bike you can decorate it at home or bring something fun to add to your camp bike!

Follow this link to register for the event. Please include on your registration the names of all family members planning to participate, whether your camper will need a bike to ride, and provide 2 emergency contacts for the day.

We can't wait to see you for our first alumni gathering!
