Colorado Springs is a bucket list destination for mountain biking, most especially due to the variety of trails, terrains, views, and accessibility, but it has been community support through local trail building non-profits that has been key to maintaining and growing it and making it so great. But there was still a need for more advanced trail advocacy and building and now thanks to the Colorado Springs Mountain Biking Association, it's getting even better.
The organization, formed just two years ago, has fast become a force in helping to speed up the process for creating and improving trails and connections - not just for advanced mountain bikers but all levels of users. In this podcast, host Torie Giffin talks with the Executive Director, board and members of COSMBA about the exciting work they've been doing and what's coming up next.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
