Mountains to Desert

Saturday, September 24, 2022

The Mountains to Desert Classic is a fully supported road ride starting in Telluride, CO on Saturday, September 24. The 19th annual event has several ways to participate: a 133-, 103- or 74-mile ride finishing with a fun celebration at Gateway Community Center.

The ride descends from Telluride’s alpine alley to the red cliff desert paradise of Gateway, along the San Miguel and Dolores River. It’s a gorgeous end of the summer ‘timed’ ride in a stunning setting—on quiet roads, with a motorcycle escort, sag wagon, mechanic, several aid stations, an excellent lunch with live music, fundraising prizes, an organic cotton ride t-shirt, commemorative water bottle and finisher medal.

The Mountains to Desert Classic is the annual fundraiser for the Just for Kids Foundation. The Just for Kids foundation provides vital funding for scholarships, operating & program support, capital & start-up projects, and new/updated equipment to deserving youth and youth organizations within the San Miguel watershed.

  • DON’T DELAY: We’re placing another order for #BicycleColorado masks made by our friends at @primalwear TOMORROW (5/14) at noon! Click the link in our bio to get yours now! • • • 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!
