Colorado bike rides and events:

please go directly toplease go directly toIt is time to plan out our bike rides for the 2015 cycling season in Colorado. Which bike event will you be participating in this year? Maybe you have your favorite rides, maybe you are looking for a different challenge for the new year, or maybe you want to travel to a neighboring state or country to ride upon new roads. Whatever your cycling level or goal - you are sure to find a cycling event of interest within the lists below.Pedal Dancer® blog creates an annual list of cycling events for you to choose from; below is a calendar list of events in date order with known 2015 dates and links to the event websites. I have also grouped the rides by type of event for easy planning. If you would like to have your event added to the list, please email me As cycling columnist Dan Wouri, so perfectly summed up how many of us feel about cycling in the February 2015 edition of VeloNews magazine, "... what draws me to cycling, as both a rider and a fan, is that every day is a chance to redefine what's possible. I'm not a great rider - or even a good one. But whether you are a suburban hack or a GC contender, it all boils down to the same set of challenges. How hard can you go? Can you push yourself just a little further than the day before? Cycling has given me the chance to re-imagine what I'm capable of, both mentally and physically...".Please also see:Pedal Dancer® 2015 Cycling Events in the Western United States (and some in Europe) Pedal Dancer® 2015 Colorado Bike Race Calendar List Pedal Dancer® 2015 Charity Bike Rides in Colorado Pedal Dancer® Guide Page to: COLORADO CLIMBS I help people find cool things to do on the weekend.List of Colorado road cycling events, gran fondos, century rides, cruiser rides, randonneurs, extreme long distance bike events, hill climbs, mountain bike events, gravel rides, bike races, week-long bike tours, fundraisers, bike swaps, and so much more.January 4, 2015 -
