About
The Front Rangers Cycling Club was established in January 1993, founded on the belief that direct interaction with youth will offset the influences of drugs, gang membership, crime, and other social ills facing young people today. We started out with a few special kids identified by Denver Police Officers as needing a little extra help. Twenty three years later, over 200 racially diverse kids have enjoyed our program and participated in activities designed to get them outside and moving, enhance their sense of adventure, and give them a feeling of accomplishment. Many of our original volunteers are still working with the group today, inspiring more volunteers every year. After experiencing significant growth in the past five years, we now have more than 60 Denver kids actively participating in our program this year. We are proud of our work, our volunteers, and our kids.
