Colorado Bicycle Tours

The beautiful century route goes North to Leadville, along the scenic rolling hills of Turquoise Lake Road, around the Mineral Belt Trail passing aspen groves and conifer forests, meandering through the historic Leadville Mining District, and back to Buena Vista in the shadows of Colorado’s highest mountain peaks. Nearly all of the climbing is completed over the first 60 miles of the ride, with the last 40 miles essentially downhill to flat! Riders also have options to take shorter routes including a 35 miler, a 50 miler, and a “metric century” (62 miles) while still enjoying the Collegiate Peaks’ magnificent scenery.

“For the fit cyclist the H.O.W.L. does not present itself as a particularly challenging ride. That has never been its intention but rather a ride to do with friends. We have lots of exciting changes for 2010. The foremost will be many more riders! Because of this we’ve had to make some route changes but we also have much more support in terms of rider safety. We will have police marshalling the intersections so we can ride interrupted through town as we do the “town loop” through Castle Rock.
