Event Details
The Grand Enduro will challenge you on three demanding stages in and around Grand Junction’s Lunch Loops trail system. For those unfamiliar, the nature of these trails is very technical and require expert handling skills as well as solid fitness.
What to expect:
-
Chunky, desert terrain that’s hard on body and equipment – bring sturdy tires and spare tubes!
-
Stages will lose significant elevation, but lack sustained steeps – be ready to pedal! However, this is no XC race, so bring your well equipped all-mountain bike. You’ll hate it on some of the punchy, short climbs but wish you were on an even bigger bike at some points!
-
All stages feature at least a few “moves” – sections of trail that are particularly precarious. Where possible we’ll have go-arounds, however these will generally cost you time! Pre-riding all stages is definitely recommended and required for stages 1 and 3.
-
25-40 minutes of racing over 7.2 miles of trail. 2.5-4 hours of total ride time covering ~23 miles.
Time

The Spring (third) Stage is on! We’re going to shoot for May 15-25, 2020 and of course, ask that everyone observe all the safety recommendations when using the parks. The extended period is to allow participants to spread their rides out even more. See Rules page for more info.
The Four Seasons of Horsetooth Mountain Bike Challenge is a grass-roots un-event with no entry fees and no real start times and is ridden on the two solstices and two equinoxes in Horsetooth Mountain Park and Lory State Park. By being required to complete at least three seasonal stages, we hope it encourages you to come ride if your schedule doesn’t permit on any given stage. The course is designed to offer what we think are the best sections of trail in our backyard. The course should take about 2-3 hours. Had fun in the winter? Bring a friend for the spring stage! Don’t own a fancy team kit or 20lb race bike? Neither do we! Come ride for the fun and challenge of completing all four events! Check out the rules in the link below.

Event Details
All participants will climb their way out of downtown Grand Junction onto the Uncompahgre Plateau, while connecting some of the area’s favorite technically challenging singletrack, double track, gravel roads and the occasional paved segment in the world famous Lunch Loops trail system and beyond.
During your visit to Grand Junction, enjoy three days of festivities in the Downtown Music Festival while being submerged in the mountain bike industry. Mingle with bike-minded people and the Grand Junction community while enjoying the area’s wine country and its appreciation for the outdoor enthusiast.
Bonus: All Finishers receive an engraved stemless wineglass emblazoned with the distance they’ve finished, 3-days of outstanding free live music, a cold beverage (gratis) from Four Peaks Brewing Company, and the comfort of its meandering main street engulfed by industry expo + beer garden waiting at the finish for all Off-Road participants…this is one finish line worth achieving.
The ‘Grand’ has a 95% finish rate. Technical? Yes. But attainable, too.

Event Details
Denver to Aspen is regarded by many people to be the signature event of the RMCC. Since the club’s inception in 1993, club members have been riding Denver to Aspen as preparation for much harder events such as Paris-Brest-Paris and Montreal-Boston-Montreal, some of the longest, most difficult timed bike events in the world. The original Denver-to-Aspen course started in the Denver Tech Center, climbing Deer Creek Canyon until it reached US-285 near what is now Aspen Park. From Aspen Park the course turned west along US-285 toward Kenosha Pass and the dreaded, wind-laden South Park Valley, eventually reaching Buena Vista. Riders then faced the final lung-searing climb over Independence Pass before making the exhilarating descent into Aspen.
The original course was created by Joe Lookingbill, one of the founding fathers of the RMCC. Joe was the mastermind behind the Denver to Aspen Classic and was one of the event directors when Denver to Aspen was organized as a public ride during the 1990s. Because of the extreme difficulty of this event, Denver to Aspen was never wildly popular; however, this incredibly challenging event did possess a certain mystique that would attract up to 190 riders each year. It also attracted many strong riders, including former US professional racer and Giro d’Italia contestant, Michael Carter, who to this day still holds the fastest mile-per-hour average speed. In 2015, the RMCC board of directors approved a complete revision the of Joe Lookingbill-designed course, creating an entirely different Denver-to-Aspen route to bypass the increasingly dangerous US-285. The new course climbs the iconic Lookout Mountain to the west of Denver and then ventures west along the lightly trafficked frontage roads along the I-70 corridor to the base of Loveland Pass, making the course safer for participants. The final defining climb from the beautiful Twin Lakes to the summit of Independence Pass as well as the brilliant descent into Aspen is fortunately preserved for participants.
- Distance: 180 miles, a point-to-point route from Denver, CO to Woody Creek, CO
- Climbing: 16,000 feet
- 3 crossings of the Continental Divide: Loveland Pass, Fremont Pass, and Independence Pass

Early registration ends March 23.
For 2020, the Buena Vista Bike Fest has added a GRAVEL GRINDER. Leaving BV, the Gravel Grinder route passes through the Colorado Midland Railway Tunnels past the historic town of Vicksburg to either the Sheep Gulch trailhead (official turnaround) or the Winfield ghost town.

You will take in the outstanding views of Colorado’s highest mountain peaks while enjoying the sunshine of the Arkansas River Valley. This is an ideal warm up for your summer riding season and is only a two-hour drive from the Front Range! More information is available at bvbf.org.
BV Bike Fest is put on by Buena Vista Rotary and the proceeds support the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a book gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth until they begin school, no matter their family’s income. Rotary funds this project locally with to encourage early reading.
From noon until 5:00 p.m. relax at the BVBF Post Ride Party in McPhelemy Park. Join us for beverages, food, music and prizes. You might even want to get a massage.
This area is a sports paradise, so plan to spend the weekend in Buena Vista and enjoy rafting, mountain biking, fishing, hiking or just sight-seeing.
Volunteers needed!

Hundreds of American communities have been successful in increasing bicycle commuting by providing Bike to Work Week and Bike to Work Day events. Bike to Work Day is June 26th STATEWIDE!
40% of all trips in the U.S. are less than two miles, making bicycling a feasible and fun way to get to work. With increased interest in healthy, sustainable and economic transportation options, it’s not surprising that, from 2000 to 2013, the number of bicycle commuters in the U.S. grew by more than 62 percent.

Bridges of the Butte is a fun and unique event and is a Crested Butte-style bike-a-thon. The 300 riders raise funds for the ASC by completing laps through Crested Butte to earn pledges. All ages are encouraged to participate and riders can participate as individuals or as a team.

Event Details
Come out and ride a scenic and enjoyable brevet with the club! This is Mike Moerk’s breathtaking Indy 200 route – from Buena Vista to Aspen and back, climbing the spectacular Independence Pass, from both directions!
We will meet at Columbine Park in downtown Buena Vista (park where you can – but not at City Market!) and head north on the rolling, wide shoulder of 24. A single left turn towards Twin Lakes is all the navigation you need to do. From this point, it is a lovely journey up and over the 12,095′ pass and then down into the swanky town of Aspen. Take a breather, grab a bite to eat, get your card signed at any business here, and then start the serious work of climbing Independence Pass from the west. Once you reach the crest for the second time, the hard work is done for the day; you will have climbed about 9,000′ and can enjoy the mostly downhill trip back to Buena Vista. This is a nice event for a first timer, because it is both beautiful and low-key. We will probably ride in a group to the base of the climb, have lunch together in Aspen, and most of the work is done by mile 85. A frugal alternative to the Triple Bypass (being run simultaneously), this is an easy opener into the world of brevets.
As we will be up at altitude and above tree line mid-day, come prepared for Colorado’s unpredictable weather with a rain jacket, warm gloves, and knee warmers at a minimum. I have gotten snowed on riding Independence Pass in the middle of summer!
Come out and join us for a day of verdant vistas and challenging climbing. This is about a two hour drive from the Dinosaur Lots just off I-70. I would recommend using this site to set up a carpool for anyone interested in going.
