Annual pedaling tour will cover 435 miles

Two thousand bicyclists are expected to pedal through the Colorado mountains in this year’s Denver Post Ride the Rockies presented by Wells Fargo.
The route for the 23rd annual bike tour, which will cover 435 miles over seven days in June, begins in Durango and finishes in Breckenridge.
“This year’s event features breathtaking views of southwestern Colorado and offers cyclists a well-deserved rest day in Crested Butte, a town we are visiting for only the second time,” said tour director Chandler Smith. The 2008 bike tour runs from June 15 to 21.
Ride the Rockies is a noncompetitive event, and riders are encouraged to ride at their own pace. However, training for the tour is strongly recommended.
Training information is available online at ridetherockies.com.
Cyclists can register for the event online or submit a mail-in application form available in The Post. Proceeds from Ride the Rockies benefit Post-News Charities, a fund of the McCormick Tribune Foundation, and 100 percent of all dollars raised are returned to the community. In addition, Post-News Communities awards a $5,000 grant to a nonprofit organization in each town that hosts the tour.
