Pedal The Plains (PTP) is a bicycle tour of Colorado, a signature event of The Denver Post Community Foundation and an initiative of The Denver Post and the State of Colorado.

This one-of-a-kind annual bike tour of Colorado began in 2012 and celebrates the agricultural roots and frontier heritage of Colorado’s Eastern Plains. Described by the Governor as “a ride for the rest of us”, Pedal The Plains seeks to engage riders of all abilities, from seasoned cyclists to first-time riders, in an educational and recreational experience.

The heart and spirit of Colorado lies just as much in the eastern plains as it does the Rocky Mountains. Pedal the Plains brings riders on a bike tour of Colorado that highlights these three communities that still embody that raw pioneer spirit and a dedication to the land. The event will incorporate interactive on-route experiences by staging rest stops on farms, posting educational points of interest and includes locally sourced food for a farm to table experience. Each evening in the host towns, participants will experience the hospitality and charm of a new community and trade in their Lycra for Levis while they enjoy local entertainment, food, and fun in a form that highlights the uniqueness of each town.

PTP is a 3 day bicycle tour of Colorado (Friday through Sunday) that averages 50 to 80 miles per day. The event includes two Century options for seasoned riders.
