Million Dollar Views along the Million Dollar Highway

June 24 – June 30, 2023

   
Arguably the most beautiful part of Colorado, the San Juan Mountains along U.S. Highway 550 (the Million Dollar Highway) offer stunning views in every direction that are best enjoyed by bicycle. Late June is the perfect time of year to ride in southwestern Colorado; monsoons don’t start until July. The weather is sunny with average lows in the 50s and average highs in the 70s. Join Roger, Janet, Mary Ann, and Martha for spectacular scenery, unforgettable riding, good food, and fun. The first day of riding will be a loop in the Durango area, then we head north into the San Juan Mountains for overnights in historic Silverton and Ouray. We’ll spend enough time in these historic towns to enjoy their charm, and maybe a hike or hot springs.

Mission: Nonprofit Partners & Beneficiaries

   

The HeartCycle Bicycle Touring Club formed in 1978 in Colorado as a cardiac research project (hence the name) but long since became a nonprofit that organizes and runs multi-day, SAG-supported tours throughout the U.S. and internationally. Members enjoy the challenge and fun of cycle touring and want to share their enthusiasm.

We’re thrilled to see so many people out enjoying (and often rediscovering the joy of) riding a bike right now, and we’re asking ALL bicyclists to do their part to prevent the spread of #covid19 by wearing a mask or other face covering when out for a ride. Doing so keeps you, your loved ones, those around you, and all Coloradans safer while helping reduce stress on our medical system. If you still need a mask, click the link in our bio to pre-order one now and support our advocacy work! Thanks so much to everyone who has already purchased, and to @primalwear for supporting our efforts over the years. Ride on.
  • #BicycleColorado volunteers and staff members spent time today helping @denverurbangardens and @denverfoodrescue deliver “Grow a Garden” food boxes to home-bound families in Denver—via bike! Supporting our community on two wheels makes for a great way to spend a sunny day. Many thanks to our friends @ddchen47, David M., and @juggernautcargo for your help! Head to denverfoodrescue.org or dug.org to learn more about these great local organizations. #rideyourbike
  • Tonight the #BicycleColorado team celebrated Stacey, our outgoing Development Director, with a virtual happy hour. Stacey has been an absolute rockstar for BC. We’re sad to see her leave, but thrilled for her as she heads out on a new adventure (hopefully in the #BikeAdvocacy space!) in North Carolina. Please join us in wishing her well!
