Rooted in riding. Built for everyone.

More than a trail.
A way to belong.

A good trail connects more than two points on a map. It connects neighbors, opens a door to the outdoors, and gives us something worth caring for together.

That’s the work of Cloud City Wheelers: creating, enhancing, preserving, and promoting trail and cycling opportunities in Leadville and Lake County.

Our story starts in 2007.

Formed in 2007 after a devoted group of cyclists saw the need for an organized voice in the community. With the spirit of the original Cloud City Wheelmen group of the 1800s, we strive to serve the community of Leadville. We now play host to races and events, family group rides, ride to work days, volunteer days, trail building and maintenance, adult group rides, and more, all while trying to create and promote new and existing trails as an economic driver in Lake County.
