Introducing new segments of the population to the joy of mountain biking is something that has always been close to the heart of Natalia Pulido since she arrived in Manitou Springs with her husband Manuel in 2016. Now teaching clinics for Colorado Mountain Biking Association (COMBA), their Latina Women's Program, Pulido hopes to inspire more Latinas to embrace this sport as she has.
Improving trails and creating new ones, both for conservation, community connection, and outdoor enjoyment, is what drives Medicine Wheel Trail Advocates. For over 30 years, this non-profit organization has focused on creating and maintaining trails for mountain bikers through building relationships with local land management agencies including the City of Colorado Springs Parks Department, El Paso County Parks, the US Forest Service, the BLM, and Colorado State Parks.
