Ride the Rockies, one of the longest and oldest recreational bike touring rides in the country, will return to Colorado this Saturday through next Friday. 🚲
The Ride the Rockies attracts more than two thousand bicyclists to participate in the six-day tour, which starts in Copper Mountain on June 11 and winds 436 miles to end in Golden on June 17. Bicyclists will travel over Tennessee, Freemont, Independence, Hoosier, and Loveland passes, totaling more than 27,000 feet of elevation gain. For the first time, the route includes Glenwood Canyon.
The fifth day is somewhat of an"easy day" with just 31 miles around Dillon Reservoir. On the final day, the bicyclists push from Breckenridge, up Loveland Pass, to Golden on the frontage road parallel to I-70. Read an in-depth breakdown of the route here. Along the route, cyclists have overnight accommodations in Glenwood Springs, Basalt, Salida, and two nights in Breckenridge.Registration for the 2022 event is closed.
Ride the Rockies is hosted by Venture Endurance and, for the eighth year, is sponsored by Flexential.
