Routt County Riders

"The Engine Inside" Hosted by RCR
2023-10-19 18:00 - 21:00 UTC | Bud Werner Library, 1289 Lincoln Avenue, Steamboat Springs, CO, 80487, United States
Join RCR for a mud season movie night at Bud Werner Memorial Library Hall on Thursday, October 19th, 2023!

This inspiring film is FREE to all! Doors open @ 6pm and showtime @ 7pm. There will be a raffle @ 8:30pm from many of your favorite local brands (and one BIG grand prize!). Beer & food available with a suggested donation. All raffle proceeds and food donations directly benefit Routt County Riders. We hope to see you there!

The Engine Inside—a new feature-length documentary from Anthill Films—tells the stories of six everyday people from all over the globe who reveal the unique power of the bicycle to change lives and build a better world.

Through their stories, the film uncovers the often-overlooked potential of this 200-year-old machine, exploring its impact on a wide range of global issues such as physical and mental health, socioeconomic inequality and climate change.

By shining a light on people who have embraced cycling as a way to overcome daunting personal and systemic challenges, The Engine Inside ultimately asks viewers to reconsider their own perspective. Is there a transformative power within us all that can
be unlocked through the simple act of riding a bike?

Shimano, Pon.Bike and PeopleForBikes present an Anthill Films production, narrated by the voice of cycling, Phil Liggett. Featuring Jay Bearhead, Nouran Salah, RRDBlocks, Janice Tower, Megan Hottman and Kwabena Danso, with Danny MacAskill
and Robert Gesink.

7th Annual 24 Hour Boat Cruise
2023-08-25 16:00 - 2023-08-26 16:00 | CO
In 2017 a group of community members created the 24-Hour ‘Boat Cruise fundraising event. The idea came from a desire to affect real change on a local level in a world that was starting to feel more divided than ever. We chose Integrated Community, CIIC, as the beneficiary.
CIIC’S focus on access to Early Childhood Education, quality healthcare and public safety fit with the event committee’s goals to open our arms to members of our community who are being negatively impacted by current policies, systemic inequities and language barriers on a local and national level.
This year marks our Seventh Boat Cruise. In six short years, we have raised over 165K towards CIIC’s Early Childhood Education programming, often doubling funds raised from the prior years’ event. We are making real change possible by supporting this amazing non profit as they work to meet the needs of our entire community.
Our goal is simple: Raise as much money as we can, Have fun on bikes, and Increase awareness in our town for CIIC and the work they are doing. Thank you for joining us!
