Brief Description

Colorado's only all-woman's bike ride is back for its second year. With courses for every skill level, it's the perfect ride whether your bike collects sponsorship stickers or cobwebs. Select a 65, 50, or 35-mile course and put your mettle to the pedal. The ride is hosted by Greenhouse Scholars (greenhousescholars.org), and all proceeds help them to provide high-performing, under-resourced college students with financial support and mentorship.

Additional Information

All rides begin in Prospect Park, located in Prospect New Town, Longmont, across from Vic's coffee shop.

The short ride is 35 miles - it takes you to Hygiene, past the Foothills Reservoir and then down through Niwot before returning back to Prospect Park.

The long ride is 65 miles beginning again at Prospect Park and taking you past Hygiene, then through Lyons, Jamestown and Niwot before returning to Prospect Park.

New this year we're offering a 50-mile course for those riders ready for more challenge but not yet ready for the Jamestown climb. Beginning again at Prospect Park and taking you past Hygiene, then through Lyons, this route bypasses Jamestown and heads towards Niwot before returning to Prospect Park.

But, even if 35 miles sounds like a lot, don't get scared, there are plenty of stops along the way. And remember, these rides aren't about time, it's all about doing your personal best - and if that means stopping every mile and walking your bike up the big hills, (believe me, we've all done it) you'll still be a winner.
