Karen Hornbostel Memorial Time Trial Series
2026-04-29, 2026-04-22, 2026-04-15, 2026-04-08 | Cherry Creek State Park, CO
Since 1991, the KHMTT has been a spring rite of passage—Wednesday evenings at Cherry Creek State Park—where riders gather to test themselves against Colorado’s mercurial weather and a deceptively beautiful course.
We race with purpose. The KHMTT is a fundraiser supporting the Cancer Fitness Institute—founded in memory of Karen Hornbostel—and Bicycle Colorado. Karen Hornbostel was a four‑time masters national road champion who, despite a 13‑year battle with metastatic breast cancer, pioneered a groundbreaking fitness program for cancer patients. Her vision grew into what is today the Cancer Fitness Institute, improving the quality of life for thousands of survivors. Her courage and leadership continue to inspire every ride.
The COBRAS and the KHMTT are proud to support these organizations. When you ride with us, you’re not just chasing personal bests—you’re helping fund life‑changing programs and safer streets for cyclists across the state.

2026 Dates:

Rally for America’s Bike Lane - Colorado
2026-04-21 07:00 - 08:30 | Wash Park Boathouse, 701 S Franklin St, Denver, 80209, United States
On April 21, 2026, people across Colorado (and America) will ride in solidarity with the League of American Bicyclists, the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA), the people of Washington, DC, and with every community across America, fighting to protect common-sense investments in safe streets.
The 15th Street protected bike lane in DC is more than a local issue. It’s America’s bike lane built with public investment, proven to save lives, and now under threat of unilateral removal by the federal government without any public process. If it can happen there, it can happen anywhere.
Join a national day of action. Ride your local streets. Show your community. Show Congress. Bike lanes save lives. We’re here to keep speaking up for safer streets for everyone.
This is an opportunity to get on your bike where you live. Ride your local bike lane, greenway, or street. It doesn’t need to be long; even a short neighborhood loop counts. Invite as many people as you can, including business leaders and elected officials.
Read our press release to learn why this issue matters to us.
Take Action:

Ride Where You Live & Post To Social (Example Caption):
On April 21st, I’m riding for America’s bike lanes. DC’s 15th Street protected bike lane has cut bike injuries by 91%, and the federal government wants to tear it out without any public process. If it can happen there, it can happen in Colorado. Ride local. Stand national.

We’ll gather at the boathouse at 7:00 AM and depart at 7:30 AM. We’ll take a slow ride down the Marion Street protected bike lane with stops to say a few words commemorating Alexis Bounds and all those lost to preventable traffic violence. We’ll also be crossing Alameda Avenue, where previously planned safety improvements have been challenged and delayed by the City of Denver. We’ll return to Wash Park by 8:30 AM. The ride will be approximately three flat miles.
