🍣 Craving: JAWS Sushi
📍 1205 W Elizabeth St, Fort Collins, CO (Campus West Shops)
This relaxed sushi spot is a local favorite for a reason—fresh rolls, creative daily specials, and cozy vibes. Don’t skip the rotating chef’s special (last week’s yellowfin bao buns? Chef’s kiss). With happy hour bites, friendly service, and a chill evening crowd, JAWS hits the sweet spot for sushi lovers in the Fort.
🚵♀️ NoCo MTB Fest Rolls into Lory State Park This Weekend
Saddle up, FoCo — one of the Front Range’s biggest bike parties is rolling in hot. The 2025 NoCo Mountain Bike Fest (Sept. 27–28) is a full-throttle celebration of trails, tunes, tacos, and two-wheeled freedom at Lory State Park. Hosted by Overland Mountain Bike Association, this fest isn’t just for hardcore riders—it’s for anyone who loves being outside and getting a little (okay, a lot) dusty.
Here’s what to expect:
🚲 Bike Demos Galore – Test the latest from REEB, Specialized, Shimano eBikes & more (demo passes go fast!)
🎶 Live Music – Two bands take the stage Saturday afternoon and evening
🃏 Poker Ride – Ride your hand and win prizes
👨👩👧👦 Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day – Sunday is all about getting young riders stoked
🍔 Food Trucks + Bevvies – Refuel between rides with local eats and drinks
💪 Skills Clinics & Group Rides – For all levels, from flowy to gnarly
💬 Rider Stories + Community Vibes – Trail talks, stories, and celebration of what we’ve built
Best part? Entry to the Vendor Village, food truck court, and music zone is totally free. Whether you’re pedaling hard or just soaking in the scene, your presence supports Overland’s mission to build and maintain the incredible trail system we all love.
So grab your helmet, wrangle your crew, and get ready to ride (or vibe) your way through an epic weekend on the dirt.
Catch You on the Singletrack
Whether you’re rolling deep with your ride crew or just dropping by for the music and food, NoCo MTB Fest is all about community and connection. And every pedal stroke helps support the trails we all love to hike, run, and ride. Pass this along to a fellow dirt lover—and we’ll see you (and your helmet hair) on the trails this weekend. 🧢🚴♀️
