We’ve taken the best routes in Colorado and simply improved their logistics, routing, and options.

For those looking for an additional challenge… Colorado’s Ride has retained a “Molas Pass Return” option on August 18, 2025. This route is an alternative option to the Silverton Express route, which includes riding the train locomotive!

Cyclists will continue to enjoy a freshly paved road with less traffic on the final day of riding, and we expect to have a new riding direction on the Durango Loop route.

Camping services have changed to accommodate new regulations in Durango. Please see camping tab below for specifics.

Week long registration is $675.00 + Tax/Sur. That makes the 2024 tour the most economical, professionally supported tour in Colorado (per day).

Colorado’s Ride is capped at 350 riders total. This does distribute some expenses across a smaller base of participants, which will provide a better overall experience but does push the participant cost up slightly.

Rider registration fees are allocated for expenses directly associated with riding the bike.

Rider registration includes Day Bag Support (Day 1), Train Ticket Services, Aid-Station Support, Start Venues, and support from the following organizations… Colorado State Patrol, Colorado Department of Transportation, Rapid Response Medical, Summit Cycle Solutions, Town of Durango, Town of Pagosa Springs, La Plata County, Archuleta County, San Juan County, Bureau of Land Management, Venue Management Fees, Train Services, Private Land Use Fees.

Colorado’s Ride is socially inclusive. To do this, we are eliminating the fiscally inclusive registration fee.

Many tours have made the mistake of promising ancillary services beyond riding the bike. This allows for expenses to balloon out of control. Colorado’s ride is a platform for access to local amenities.

Rider registration does not include luggage transport, camping venue fees, hotel services, local transportation, airport transportation, meals, bike shipping, or any other services not directly associated with riding a bike.

Ancillary services can be purchased “ a la carte” via our logistics page, or by contacting Summit Cycle Solutions.

All services may be purchased via our logistics tab 👉 (click here).

Hotels: Hotels are booked via Summit Cycle Solutions. Riders will be able to have luggage transferred to / from Pagosa Springs as a part of the program with Summit Cycle Solutions.

Camper Vans: Colorado’s Ride does allow for camper vans, overland tent toppers, small trailers, and personal vehicles. Each vehicle must be able to fit in a parking spot. If you are using a camper trailer please make sure you can disconnect and fit in a parking spot. All camping is “dry camping”. Hook-up are not available.

Tent Camping: As of 2025 tent camping in Durango is not allowed. Colorado’s Ride has partnered with several commercial campgrounds. Please note that dispersed camping on USFS & BLM land is allowed (and free). Please refer to the local ranger office for details.

Tent camping in Pagosa Springs is approved at Mary Fisher park. All services may be purchased via our logistics tab

Colorado’s Ride is limited to 350 riders. We expect services will be limited in nature.

1. Secure rider registration.

Did I read the above inclusions correctly? Yes.

The day one rider experience will include riding to Silverton (49 Miles) then catching the narrow gauge railroad back to town. Bikes will be transferred to Durango via Summit Cycle Solutions.

In 2025 riders have a Molas Pass return option (in lieu of the train). Please make sure you select the correct registration pass at the time of route announcement.

Yes! We will have enough train tickets to provide a seat to significant others. Please email us at info@coloradosride.com for details.

Colorado’s Ride is a small tour which means we operate a bit more authentically. Riders aren’t a number in the system.

Riders are provided a “day bag” on day 1 for transport to Silverton for a change of clothes, snack etc for the train

Aid-stations will still have nutritious snacks, bars, gels, electrolyte drink, water, sunscreen and facilities.

Routes on Colorado’s Ride are fully supported. This means riders will have Colorado State Patrol, Medical Services, Mechanical Services, and Ambulance Services on site.

Routes are intentionally designed to be “enjoyable” rather than “extreme”. The estimated support to rider ratio is 1:25 while on route.

Colorado’s Ride is thrilled to welcome up to 350 (max) enthusiastic cyclists to this incredible event! To make this unforgettable journey a reality, we require a minimum of 225 (min) participants. Let’s come together and ride Colorado in style!
