Brief Description

Colorado's only all-woman's bike ride is back for its third year. With courses for every skill level, it's the perfect ride whether your bike collects sponsorship stickers or cobwebs. Select a 67, 51, or 33-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.

Rain or Shine

Venus de Miles is a rain or shine event, and registration is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Additional Information

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

The short ride is 33 miles - it takes you to through Niwot, past the Clover Basin Reservoir and over through Hygiene before returning back to Prospect Park.

The 51-mile course is for those riders ready for more challenge but not yet ready for the Jamestown climb. Beginning again at Prospect Park and taking you through Niwot, this route bypasses Jamestown and heads to Lyons and back through Hygiene before returning to Prospect Park.

The long ride is 67 miles beginning again at Prospect Park and taking you through Niwot, then through Jamestown, Lyons, and Hygiene before returning to Prospect Park.

But, even if 33 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.
