There is no better way to see the Rocky Mountains than on your bicycle. Experience the climbs and descents of the mountains from a new perspective. Cruise along rivers and streams and feel the spray of the whitewater. Stop and take pictures, or just memories, almost anywhere along the way. Spot abandoned mines, wildflowers, towering forests, wide open valleys, as you crank out the miles. Peer through the clear night sky in a small mountain town to view the stars clearer than in the big cities. Make new friends along the road, in camp, or at the nightly after ride beer garden.
Be prepared to SHOW OFF your BTC bicycling jerseys during the 2017 ride! Remember to bring your jerseys from past years' BTC rides and wear them on the following days:
