Resort Information

The BME returns to Winter Park / Trestle Bike Park again in 2021, which is consistently ranked as one of the best bike parks in North America. Taking place on Saturday, August 14th, this ever-popular event will blend high altitude racing mixed with rugged terrain and big descents.

Riders will be challenged to 1 day of racing that will push the athletes to the utmost and keep them on their toes at all times. Racers can expect 4 legitimate stages for the single day race. No tech support or aid stations will be provided on course. The BME sponsor and vendor village will be located in the base village, where tech support and race teams will be located.

Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up; The Breck Epic. Back to the beginning. When mountain biking was a about big rides with friends. About lending a hand when a rider went down. About a shared experience that somehow, flying in the face of all logic, disproportionately enriched all involved.

The Epic is composed of 6 BIG backcountry loops (3 loops for the 3-day Epic-curious events), each between 35 and 50 miles long. The event is unique in that it employs a cloverleaf format; each loop starts and finishes within a mile from downtown Breckenridge and utilizes the sprawling network of trails in both Summit and Park Counties. When mapping out the courses we asked ourselves; “What big rides would we want to tackle if we had most of the day to slaughter and 6 of our best friends?” The answer lies before you. The six stages that compose the Epic are a well-rounded rider’s dream. Long rhythmic climbs followed by endless descents that make your smile muscles hurt.

In a bizarre way, we have the assorted governing bodies to thank. Mountain biking seemed like an afterthought for many, many, many years. We’ll grant that that’s changing and it’s important to acknowledge that that doesn’t happen with someone pushing it from the inside. But the unintended result of being redheaded step-childed for a decade-and-a-half is 6-day race in Breckenridge, CO that lives among a small but thriving handful of kick-ass bucket-list races.

The race is rad. The courses are beyond fun. The vibe? Mid-90’s mayhem. If that sounds like your cup of tea, come join us. We’ve got great people in a great town with courses that you’re gonna need to ride to believe. What else do you really need?

There are always riders asking for more. Summer Ramble Plus, as the name implies it’s the Summer Ramble plus an extra day of riding. The new route uses the best of past Rambles and a lot of new ground. Challenging and tough: long days, heat, climbs, elevation. Leaving Walden and heading north, we’ll revisit the “OG” route, before looping back towards Independence Mountain with it’s expansive North Park views. From there into the Medicine Bow NF, around the Zirkel Wilderness for a day, and then to Steamboat Springs for a third night camp. Our last day is up and over Buffalo Pass back to Walden. Now 258 miles and 23K of climbing over four days, if you are looking for a challenge, this is it. But with big challenged come big rewards. It’ll be a ride you’ll talk about for a long time.

NOW A FIVE DAY ADVENTURE. The original Ramble, the Steamboat Ramble travels through the Roosevelt, Medicine Bow, and Routt National Forests. On the route, we’ll travel through stunning landscapes, grand vistas, and desolate backdrops.

You can expect this ride to be even more intimate with fewer riders than our other adventures. If you’re looking for something new to challenge you in 2021, this is it.

The ride starts and ends in Walden CO. 341 miles, 27,534 ft of climbing. 

On the Ramble you get:

• 5 days of amazing riding in Colorado and Wyoming.
• Kickoff event the night before the ride start.
• 5 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.
• Exclusive discounts and products from our partners.
• End-of-ride dinner and party.
• A personal tour of the Moots Cycles facility in Steamboat Springs (COVID permitting).

This ride is among our most difficult over the 5 days. Are you ready? Space is limited on this event. You’re going to be challenged.

50 miles, 6,000′ elevation gain

The Lake City Alpine 50 Endurance Mountain/Gravel Bike Race starts in beautiful Lake City, Colorado, a small mining town located in the heart of the San Juan Mountains at 8,671 feet, and will follow the iconic Alpine Loop back to Lake City. The race distance will be a little over fifty miles and will include over 7,500 vertical feet of climbing. The race will head south out of Lake City on Highway 149 to some fun single track traversing the Lake City Ski Hill. The single track will continue along the Lake to Lake trail above Vickers Ranch and will head by the Legacy Lodge before exiting onto Hinsdale County Road 30 leading to Lake San Cristobal. Lake City’s namesake was formed by a rare natural earthflow called the Slumgullion Slide, which blocked the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, creating the second-largest natural lake in Colorado and one of the most beautiful lakes in the entire state of Colorado.

After about four miles, the course will then head onto Hinsdale County Road 33, a dirt road located on the East side of Lake San Cristobal. Be on the lookout for moose, osprey, and bald eagles as the sun starts to cast its rays across this gorgeous lake. Crossing the bridge over the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, the course heads back on Hinsdale County Road 30 skirting the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River for the next approximately sixteen miles before the climbing starts to get tough. Along the way, you will pass by three 14,000-foot peaks (Handies, Sunshine, and Redcloud) and various abandoned mining towns (Carson, Sherman, and Burrows Park). You will also catch views of American Basin, a stunning wildflower wonderland and one of the most photographed places in Colorado. For the next two miles, your lungs will be tested as you approach the top of 12,640-foot Cinnamon Pass.

You will then descend from Cinnamon Pass for about two miles into Animas Forks (11,200 feet), a ghost town, but once a bustling mining town and one of the highest mining camps in the Western United States. After Animas Forks, for the next four miles you will ascend the steep backside of Engineer Pass (12,800) before making a nearly nineteen-mile fast descent along Henson Creek, which includes passing through another ghost town, Capitol City (named because its founder had hopes of the town becoming the capital of Colorado), Nellie Creek (which leads up to 14,016-foot Wetterhorn Peak), the once booming Ute-Ulay Mine and Mill, and then back to Lake City to finish the race in Lake City’s Town Park.

Join us for a fun day of trail running and mountain biking at Cheyenne Mountain State Park! Challenge yourself to race the entire course solo or as a two person relay, all while helping support Kids on Bikes!

11 Mile Course – 2M RUN, 6.5 MTN BIKE, 2M RUN (great for beginners!)

18 Mile Course – 3.2M RUN, 11.2 MTN BIKE, 3.2M RUN

Due to the Cameron Peak fire, we’ll be starting and stopping in Walden CO, our historical first night stop. Changes this year will be to the benefit of the Fall Ramble as we’ll be staying at a higher elevation and spending more time in the timeframe for peak Fall colors. A little fewer miles than our Summer rides, but challenging all the same, especially with cooler weather and less light 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? Traveling through the Routt and Medicine Bow National Forests, as a 4-day adventure, we’ll be riding through stunning landscapes, grand vistas, and desolate backdrops

The ride starts and stops in Walden CO. 224 miles, 17,500 ft of climbing. 

On the Ramble you get:

• 4 days of amazing riding in Colorado. Approximate daily mileage: 60/70/50/40.
• Kickoff event the night before the ride start.
• 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.
• Exclusive discounts and products from our partners.
• End-of-ride dinner and party.
• A personal tour of the Moots Cycles facility in Steamboat Springs (Covid permitting).
• Shuttle back to Fort Collins on Sunday (Sept 26) AM.

This ride is the most approachable of our Colorado events and designed for riders looking to spread out the fun over a challenging course. Are you ready?

Come ride with us.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Cycling announced the 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.
