100-Mile Route Details
The 100-mile route features a tour of some of Denver’s most iconic places. This route provides both distance and a climb. Cruise past Coors Field and Union Station before the steep climb to the summit of Lookout Mountain. The ride’s organizers also planned a stop in Red Rocks Park and closed the Cherry Creek Dam road just for riders. Ride around old elegant Denver, up and down the foothills and along city streets and bike paths that connect this city.
85-Mile Route Details
This 85-Mile route provides all the distance without the steep climb. Tour the iconic sights and discover some of the commuter bike routes that connect the Denver Metro Area. Roll past Coors Field on a closed street and cross the Cherry Creek Dam Road, which is also closed just for Denver Century Ride bicyclists. Plus, cruise around old elegant Denver along city streets and bike paths.
50-Mile Route Details
The 50-Mile route is designed to help bicyclists discover the myriad of roads to ride within the Denver metro area. It highlights some of Denver’s bicycle commuter routes and casual riding areas through city parks, historic neighborhoods, and across the Cherry Creek Dam Road, closed for our cyclists’ use only.
25-Mile Route Details
The 25-Mile route is made for all cyclists! This urban ride provides a tour of old elegant Denver following bicycle commuter streets and paths. It showcases the city’s historic neighborhoods and natural gems. Almost anyone can do this ride, and it can be done on a road, hybrid or mountain bike.
Not only will you have a wonderful, exploratory day riding in the Denver Century Ride, but you can feel good about it. This ride benefits bicycle advocacy in Colorado by donating $10 of every long-distance registration to three nonprofit organizations: Bicycle Colorado, BikeDenver and Denver B-Cycle, each of which works to enhance cycling in Colorado.
Making your cycling experience fun, convenient and safe is paramount to the Denver Century Ride. The well-paced aid stations feature a variety of fresh fruit, salty snacks, sweet treats and endurance nutrition products, not to mention ice-cold drinks.
The long distance routes offer a full fresh lunch to keep cyclists strong, healthy and recharged. All routes end at the Shops at Northfield Stapleton where you will be rewarded with an ice cold beer after crossing the finish line. Northfield is home to our renowned street party featuring food, entertainment and a cycling & lifestyle expo. With multiple Northfield restaurants from which to choose, cyclists enjoy a hot satisfying meal of your choice along with a frosty beverage in our shaded seating area.
