Over 400 miles. 5 major mountain passes. A lot of incredible beauty that was probably mixed with some pain. Ride the Rockies is an incredible event that people from every state in the nation and almost a dozen different countries come to enjoy.

The riders started in Gunnison. The highest passes they pedaled over were Independence Pass and over Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. The sights they saw were no doubt incredible, as was the effort it took to complete such a ride.

Well done riders, volunteers, organizers, sponsors, safety crews, Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau, Spokesbuzz, Odell and everyone else who helped out!
