Poudre Trail Days was cancelled in 2025 (it was originally scheduled in August), but we plan to bring it back in 2026. 

September 7, 2025 (Sunday): Guided Full Moon Bike Ride and Stargazing (Corn Moon**).
     This was a free, guided event. Riders started at 7:30 PM at Rover Run in Greeley and rode west or started at the Archery Range in Windsor and rode east, meeting at the Poudre Learning Center (PLC). It is a 4.2-mile trip from both locations (8.4-mile round trip). We had scheduled stargazing with the Northern Colorado Astronomical Society at the PLC at 8:00 PM. Unfortunately, the Stargazing was cancelled due to a brief thunderstorm with rain and clouds. Thank you to everyone that participated! The sky cleared fairly quickly. Had we started an hour later, the stargazing would have been excellent. We had hoped to view the moon and Saturn. 

     Riding on the Poudre River Trail during a full moon is a unique experience and we ask people to take these simple steps to keep themselves and other trail users safe. Use lights at night, wear a helmet, bring plenty of water, and ride with a group or a buddy. Review the forecast and dress for the weather, or stay home if the conditions are not safe. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

     September’s full corn moon is so called because this is when crops are gathered at the end of the summer season. At this time, the Moon appears particularly bright and rises early, letting farmers continue harvesting into the night. This moon is also sometimes named the barley moon, and it is often the nearest full moon to the autumnal equinox, earning the title of ‘harvest moon’. Moonrise on September 7th was at 7:45 PM MST.

September 2025: The Party for the Poudre fundraising event has been rescheduled to April 23, 2026. Buy tickets today! We look forward to seeing you in the spring!
