Team Rio Grande Cycling wrapped up Team Camps with a final stop at the Fort Collins Rio for a well-earned margarita and a quick photoshoot to close out four big days on the bike.
From Horsetooth to Carter Lake to Red Feathers at 9,000 ft, these riders took on climbs, sprints, and team challenges—all while celebrating being the #1 team in Colorado last year!
Big things ahead in 2025, and we’re proud to be part of the ride. 🚴♂️🤩

Spotted: a Rio legend behind the wheel of a Rio legend! 😎
That’s Pat, our founder & owner, taking Petey for a cruise. Petey’s our beloved ’66 Chevy truck, known for his signature neon glow. 🌟
Petey has been part of the Rio family for over 30 years and got a well-deserved makeover last year to keep him shining bright.
If you see them out in the wild, wave hello, snap a photo, and maybe follow them to the closest Rio or margarita.👋 🍹
