THE TEAM EVERGREEN “AT HOME” TOUR DE VICTORY CYCLING CLASSIC

Date: the month of July
Place: Rider’s choice!
Routes: Rider’s choice

The Team Evergreen Tour de Victory Cycling Classic is a fundraising event for the Davis Phinney Foundation® for Parkinson’s.

The Team Evergreen® Tour de Victory™ is a charity fundraising event to raise awareness for Parkinson’s Disease while benefiting the Davis Phinney Foundation®.
A 100K Advanced Ride, 50K Challenge Ride, and special Parkinson’s Peloton™ — each a path toward a personal victory.
There are an estimated 17,000 people living with Parkinson’s disease in Colorado and more than 1 million nationwide. A chronic and progressively degenerative disease for which there is no cure, people with Parkinson’s endure an array of symptoms that impede movement, comfort and clarity. For many, it impacts half a lifetime.
The Davis Phinney Foundation provides essential information, practical tools and inspiration to people living with Parkinson’s. By funding early-phase, innovative research that focuses on exercise, speech, movement and other factors that affect daily life, we help make it possible to live well with Parkinson’s today.

Inspired by two great cycling traditions – Strade Bianche and l’Eroica – Strade Bianche Boulder is a Gravel Gran Fondo that combines Tuscan food and wine with Italian camaraderie and community. Starting and finishing in Niwot, Colorado, Strade Bianche Boulder features four cycling routes ranging from 13 – 80 miles. Enjoy Boulder County’s exceptional network of gravel roads, beautiful Front Range views, farmland and foothills. All types of bicycles are welcome – from vintage to gravel and cyclocross to road and mountain. Our unique wave start means you can even choose your rollout time to align with riders of similar distance and pace. And, we hope you don’t need it but registration includes sag and mechanical support throughout the day. After the scenic gravel roads and the camaraderie of fellow cyclists, the Tuscan menu will be a highlight of the day! Riders will enjoy everything from coffee and pastries at the start, to Ribollita soup, Crostini, Salame and Formaggio, homemade cakes with Nutella at the rest stops, and finally Lasagna, Tiramisu, and wine from Chianti for the Sagra post-ride lunch and festival.

The Vail/Boulder Octopus is an endurance road bike event that tackles Eagle/Boulder County’s eight quintessential climbs. The ride alternates between Boulder and Vail biennially. It is very challenging but for bikers who like to climb, this is one of the country’s ultimate accomplishments.  It is a group ride; not a race.  Participation fee is nominal. There is sag-wagon support. See web site for complete details.

Ride bikes. Change lives.

Join us for the 18th annual Buffalo Bicycle Classic, Colorado’s largest scholarship fundraising event.

The 2020 Buffalo Bicycle Classic remains scheduled for Sunday September 13, 2020. We are monitoring the COVID-19 developments closely, and hope you and your families and friends are staying safe. Ride registration will be opening soon, but we are currently soliciting donations to the Buffalo Bicycle Classic Scholarship Fund. The Buffalo Bicycle Classic is the largest scholarship fundraiser in the State of Colorado. Buffalo Bicycle Classic Scholars are all graduates of Colorado high schools with 4.0+ GPA’s, who also have profound financial need. Many of our scholars would not be able to attend CU without your support. Our students and their families are especially vulnerable in these difficult times. We thank you in advance for your generous support of our scholars.

Help support high-need, high-merit Colorado residents at CU Boulder. Your registrations and donations to the Buffalo Bicycle Classic have provided opportunities for hundreds of deserving students to pursue their dreams.

Perfect Rocky Mountain Haute Route Experience

Professional athletes flock to Boulder, Colorado, because of the easy access to twisty canyon roads leading up to high altitude summits, as well as flat and rolling terrain in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With so many options, Haute Route Boulder will feature two road stages (100-140km and 2500M+ to 3500M+ each) and a Stage 3 time trial.
