What we’re about
This group is for active people over the age of fifty who are looking to stay fit, have fun, and make new friends in the Northern Colorado area. Let's come together to exercise our bodies, minds, and spirits. Join us for regular meetups and special events geared towards staying active and having a good time.
Fitness is my primary focus. Fitness, by my definition, involves both an active body and mind. Joy and laughter are as important as sweat. Exercise in the company of others makes it enjoyable, not a chore.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Bay to Bay Trail @ Horsetooth Reservoir, V2.0Blue Sky Trailhead Parking, Fort Collins, CO
It's an Out and Back from the Blue Sky Trailhead. There's a restroom at the far end before we turn around.
Dogs are permitted on the trail, but I don't recommend them. The trail is very narrow. If you bring your pouch, you've been forewarned.
Moderate Difficulty (akin to Horsetooth Falls or Bobcat Ridge hikes)
- 3.8 miles
- 400 feet of elevation gain
- Natural trail surface.
- I plan on taking 2 hours.
I am starting early to avoid the heat. I scheduled on Monday to avoid the crowd. It will be in the 80s by hike end.
This is scenic hike giving you a perspective of the reservoir you've not had before.
I am limiting attendance to 8. Given the narrowness of the trail, it is best we break up into two groups of four people. This will make things easier when we meet people and bikes on the trail going the opposite direction on the trail.
We will start and finish at the Blue Sky Trailhead. You need a Larimer County Parks Pass to park there.
- Beat the Heat PaddleHorsetooth Reservoir, Inlet Bay Boat Ramp, Fort Collins, CO
As of the time of this posting (July 22, 8PM) the forecast high for Monday is 95. Come escape the heat. It's always cooler on the water and if you're still overheated, you can take a dip and cool off.
I will push off from the boat ramp at 1:00. Please arrive early enough to have your craft ready to go. I will be there a half hour early. If you've not met us before wait at the top of the ramp near the beach ball. Anyone I see standing there I will approach.
The boat ramp is just past the first stop sign past the bathrooms. Parking is just past the ramp. There is only one boat ramp. When you see one, you are in the correct location.
We will stick to Inlet Bay. A paddle around the bay usually takes novices about 2 hours and then there's just hangout time. Bring something to eat and drink.
The boat ramp uses the marina parking lot. You must have a Larimer County Parks Pass to park there. If you love the outdoors, you should get the annual pass. One can be purchased on your way at the South Bay Visitor Center.
