The Denver Post Ride The Rockies Bicycle Tour has attained world class status over the last 32 years as one of the country’s premier recreational bicycle tour events. Each year, cyclists pedal the 6-7 day, 400+ mile trek through some of Colorado’s most beautiful mountainous terrain and most hospitable communities. The 2018 tour is scheduled for June 9-15 and the route will be announced in early February at the annual Route Announcement Party. For more information visit RideTheRockies.com.
