Mountain Biking Colorado at Valmont Bike Park with Lee Likes Bikes
Meet Lee McCormack, your new bicycling best friend
Lee McCormack owns Lee Likes Bikes and will be your tour guide for this Bicycling Rocky Mountain Adventure. He has been riding seriously in all forms of two wheel fun since 1989 (that’s 25 years for us mathematically challenged people), competed in the Masters WORLD Downhill Championships wearing the stars and stripes, and is the most popular guy on two wheels whenever he’s around his stomping grounds. Saddle up, clip in and get ready to learn some sweet new bicycling skills. Is your helmet strapped?
This is Lee, if you have any worries about what he’s going to be able to teach you, let me drop this little nugget of goodness on you. A 7 year old boy came up to Lee and RMAJ while we were riding, then nonchalantly told Lee that he had just won the National BMX Championship in Colorado for his age group, thanked Lee for the skills and rode off into the sunset.
Lee Likes Bikes Clinics are for everyone, yes even you
Lee Likes Bikes clinics are for all levels of riding experience. Never ridden a bike? Lee will have you rolling in no time. Think you know everything about downhill mountain biking on double black diamonds like us at RMAJ thought? Think again kiddo, you know nothing. Ride in world championships during your free time? Lee will still be able to bestow some knowledge upon you. Lee Likes Bikes has a wide variety of clinics to offer based on what you’re looking for. Group, private and semi-private clinics range from teaching you the basic skills of riding to jumping obstacles to flying down a Colorado mountain without meeting a tree face to face.
Colorado has some of the best bicycling spots in the world, Lee has chosen two of the sweetest locations to spin your tires
We met Lee at Valmont Bike Park in Boulder, CO and it couldn’t have been any sweeter. Valmont Bike Park is a free to ride park located at 3160 Airport Rd. in Boulder and is open from 5am-11pm daily. It’s got tracks and trails for all ages and experience, and it lends perfectly to what Lee’s clinics have to offer. I mean look at this place!
Lee teaches skills all over the country and elsewhere in Colorado. Some of Lee’s higher level clinics take place at Trestle Bike Park in Winter Park. Trestle Bike Park offers some of the most adrenaline filled downhill mountain biking in Colorado. RMAJ has considered moving to Winter Park, CO numerous times just so we can get one more ride. We seriously love this place and Lee can make it an even funner (and safer) adventure for you.
You need to bring a bike and a helmet
Don’t worry, a plethora of different bike types can be used in Lee’s clinics. There are bike rental shops dotted all around Boulder, CO and this gives you the opportunity to see what type of bike you are really going to excel on. RMAJ recommends a BMX, hard tail mountain bike (front suspension only) or full suspension mountain bike to truly experience Valmont Bike Park. Trestle Bike Park will require a full suspension mountain bike (or if you are insane….a hard tail mountain bike) to safely navigate the downhill wonder of these epic trails. Trestle Bike Park offers rental bikes conveniently located at the base of the resort about 100ft away from the chair lift. These rental bikes are this year’s top of the line full suspension mountain bikes that are worth more than the RMAJ interns’ cars….worth every penny.
The riding is indescribable, the knowledge is priceless
The Rocky Mountain Adventure Junkies crew thought we were pretty epic riders after completing every single and double black diamond trail at Trestle Park BEFORE we went on our first clinic with Lee Likes Bikes. Let’s just say…Ignorance is bliss. Lee had us rethinking the way we ride bikes and it felt as if we were learning something new with each pedal motion. Forget what you think you know because most likely it’s wrong but easily corrected. I’ve been riding and competing with BMX bikes, Mountain bikes, Motocross motorcycles, Supersport motorcycles and sweet plastic big wheels since I was old enough to walk (20+ years of extensive experience). We stepped one foot into Lee Likes Bikes Level 1 (Beginner) clinic and found out that we were in fact not epic riders, just a couple of adrenaline junkies that have been riding completely wrong their entire lives. This guy is seriously on point.
Lee proudly celebrates the overall Mountain States Cup championship with his students.

Valmont Bike Park & Ruby Hill - Quick Clips ft. James Fisher
This year I picked up mountain biking and dirt jumping and what better place to go practice your skills than beautiful Colorado! I was accompanied by my girlfriend and we had a blast. Here are a few short clips from the trip. I spent 8 hours one day at Valmont and went from the XS jumps to the medium jumps! Since then I have been obsessing over the sport and trail building especially. It has been a great outlet. BRING MORE PARKS TO KANSAS!
