Organized Events: Mountain Bike

Do you have what it takes to complete the Roll Massif Challenge? This unique event will challenge cyclists from all regions of the country and of all abilities. Push yourself to new heights this summer by riding an accumulative 353 or 484 miles.

Why 353 or 484 miles? 353 is the total miles of all the event’s short routes combined. 484 miles is the total distance for all event’s long courses combined. You can do one event or all of them. You can ride gravel, you can pound pavement. It’s up to you. You have till Oct 31 to complete it. All results must be submitted by Nov 1 at midnight MST.

All registered riders will be entered into a drawing to receive prizes throughout the summer. If you’re feeling extra bold and complete all the rides, you will be entered into the grand prize drawings for a bicycle, racks, trainers and more.

Since this is a virtual challenge, you can ride wherever and whenever you want! You are welcomed to do it in segments, but you must submit the mileages within the 90-day window. If you can’t ride the whole Copper Triangle (79 miles) or Elephant Rock (100 miles) in one go, do it in stages.

We’ll re-share all the fun ways you guys are accomplishing the challenge through our social network as well as share our own attempts at this challenge too!

This is the ride that starts in Steamboat Springs and heads back to Fort Collins. This year, we’re moving a week later than years past, which depending on the year, will be just the beginning of, or near peak fall colors. Buffalo Pass will be open by this time, so we’ll use our historical route, which is fewer miles than the Steamboat Ramble, but still challenging at 218 miles and just under 18K of climbing. I love the pace of this ride and the landscape at this time of year. It gets darker sooner, so camps have more campfire time, and the fewer daily miles means riders aren’t as whipped when they come in. It’s a lot of fun.

Are you ready for some amazing Fall foliage, golden Aspens, and cooler riding weather? The Fort Collins Ramble travels through the Routt and Roosevelt National Forests, starting in Steamboat Springs and ending in Fort Collins CO. A 4-day adventure, we’ll travel through stunning landscapes, grand vistas, and desolate backdrops

The ride starts in Steamboat Springs and ends in Fort Collins CO. 218 miles, 17,606 ft of climbing. 

On the Ramble you get:

• 4 days of amazing riding in Colorado through amazing Fall foliage. Approximate daily mileage: 50/50/50/50.
• Wednesday shuttle to Steamboat Springs from Fort Collins (June 11).
• Kickoff event the night before the ride start.
• Personal tour of Moots Cycles facility in Steamboat Springs.
• 4 days of food. Breakfast and Dinner at camp (special diets accommodated). Lunch items on the road. Ride food is provided.
• Full route support.
• Camping for each night on the ride with camp activities.
• Drinks and adult beverages.
• Ride swag.
• Exclusive discounts and products from our partners.
• End-of-ride dinner and party.

This ride is the most approachable of our Colorado events and designed for riders looking to spread out the fun over a challenging course. If you’re feeling spunky, options exist on route to add to your challenge. Are you ready?

The Pikes Peak APEX, presented by RockShox, is a unique 4-day mountain bike challenge on the slopes of Pikes Peak, America’s Mountain.

OLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Cycling announced today the 2020 USA Cycling National Championships schedule. Riders from throughout the country will compete to win one of over 600 Stars and Stripes jerseys in their respective categories with racing spanning coast-to-coast.

The schedule starts in early April this year with National Championships being contested almost every month in junior, collegiate, amateur, elite, and master categories.

“Every year, the USA Cycling National Championships brings together the best athletes in the country who have spent all year preparing for their chance to wear the Stars and Stripes jersey and win a national title. What we love about bringing these national championships to life is that they are not only an opportunity for riders to compete on the national stage, but it brings the host cities and cycling community together,” said Chuck Hodge, USA Cycling Chief of Racing and Events. “2019 was an impressive year watching our athletes inspire us across all disciplines. We are excited to return in 2020 to some amazing venues as well as introduce our community to some new and exciting destinations and are looking forward to the thrilling races ahead.”

The 2020 schedule starts off with Collegiate BMX in Redmond, Ore. inside the Deschutes County Fairgrounds. Collegiate Road returns for a second year to the Peach State in Augusta, Ga. The U.S. Pro Road Nationals goes back to the hills of Knoxville, Tenn. Masters and Para Track Nationals goes to the famous Valley Preferred Cycling Center, known internationally in the cycling community by its nickname T-Town, in Trexlertown, Penn. Elite and Juniors Track will once again race at the VELO Sports Center in Carson, Calif. Mountain Bike Nationals will remain at Winter Park this summer. Fall will kick off with Collegiate Track Nationals at the Major Taylor Velodrome in Indianapolis, Ind., home of Marian University. Marathon Mountain Bike will move to later in the year at Palo Duro Canyon, Tex. in September. We are excited to bring Collegiate Mountain Bike to Purgatory Resort in Durango, Colo., the host of the first Mountain Bike World Championships. The year closes with Cyclocross Nationals in DuPage County, IL, where cyclocross athletes and fans alike can experience the amazing culture that the Chicago-area cyclocross scene provides.
