All courses have been approved by Jefferson County and wind through steep and beautiful Deer Creek Canyon.
All courses start and finish at the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, are non-timed, and include a 4,200' elevation gain in the first 16 miles.
33-mile Course
4,200 feet of elevation gain
Don't let the distance fool you - this is a serious ride. It takes you up City View and down Highgrade Road. Exceptional control and
safe speeds are a must. Once back to Deer Creek Canyon, it is an easy 6-mile ride back to the finish.
62-mile Course
7,053 feet of elevation gain
Follows the 33-mile course but adds a loop through Evergreen and Kittredge before returning home to the post-ride party.
100-mile Course
12,751 feet of elevation gain
This is the big one! This course includes a trip to Shadow Mountain. If you have
bitten off more than you can chew, at 80 miles you can take a "short
cut" back down West Deer Creek Canyon. You will still finish with more
than 10,000' vertical feet in 86 miles. For the truly fit, continue
West on South Turkey Creek and do City View one more time before
descending down Highgrade and Deer Creek Canyon to the finish.
