When Rondo Buecheler and Scott Winans opened Rapid Creek Cycles and Paddleboards in 2007 at 239 Main St. in Palisade, they did so with the intention of transforming Palisade and the eastern part of the Grand Valley into a mountain biking destination.
That idea grew into the Palisade Plunge and 14 years later, with the collaboration of businesses, organizations and the government, the complete biking trail finally opened to the public on Friday.
âItâs very emotional to see this project finished and how it evolved from this vision. It basically took the entire state of Colorado from passionate business owners, municipalities, state government and federal government,â Buecheler said. âWe knew it would be popular and we were hopeful it would be popular, but you always wonder if people will actually like it. Weâve invested thousands of dollars in the business for the Plunge.â
