Whether you live out-of-state, plan to drive up from Denver or even if you call Fort Collins home, this ride weekend will be an elite event unlike any other! Fort Collins is made for lovers of the great outdoors and boasts the title of no. 1 city in America for cycling and Craft Beer Capital of Colorado.

FULLY SUPPORTED, ON AND OFF THE BIKE

Ride to End ALZ is a fully supported event for a range of riders, whether you’re a novice cyclist, weekend warrior or avid enthusiast. The Fort Collins Ride to End ALZ has four route options – 20, 50,70, and 100 miles – that challenge you to go the distance to fight Alzheimer’s.

All routes start and finish at Canvas Stadium on the Colorado State University campus in beautiful Fort Collins, CO.

The 20-mile course is perfect for beginners that want to enjoy the urban tour of this historic city along with a hint of the foothills and countryside.

The 50, 70 and 100-mile routes will head west towards Horsetooth Reservoir and experience the steep climb up to the top which will all be worth it when you get to the picturesque view along the water!

The 70 and 100-miles will continue NW and have to complete around 2,000-3,000 feet in elevation gain; experiencing the Rocky Mountains in a way you will never forget!

THE WEEKEND

The ride itself might only take you a few hours on Sunday, but we’ve made this a turn-key weekend getaway for you, even if you are local. Stay in one of the historic hotels downtown on Friday and/or Saturday night, join us at New Belgium Brewery for a private tour when you get your packet, eat lunch from one of the famous food-trucks and then bring a friend or date to the VIP dinner on Saturday night with some shopping or exploring in between!

Whether you live out-of-state, plan to drive up from Denver, or even if you call Fort Collins home, let us plan a weekend getaway that will be memorable for both you and your date.

Saturday, June 11th

11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Packet Pickup at New Belgium Brewery.
Pick up your packet and then you and a guest are invited to enjoy a beverage while relaxing or shopping. If you pick up your packet on Saturday, you can just roll up to the starting line on Sunday (you can also pick up your packet on Sunday morning).
4 – 8 p.m. VIP Dinner at Ginger and Baker.
This exclusive first- class event is for those that have raised $1,000+ and want the chance to talk about the current and future Alzheimer’s Research Projects we will fund together.
