Adventurous Cycling Trips in Colorado – Create an “EPIC” ride!
We have taken two of our Colorful Colorado Rockies routes and our most recent addition, “Colorado FUNDO”, and combined them all, creating 17 days of incredible and challenging rides. The Epic Colorado Bike Tour provides a few of Colorado’s most iconic climbs: Independence, Tennessee, Vail, Ute, Hoosier, Keebler, McClure Passes, The Colorado Monument, Grande Mesa and Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
Our start up leg of the Epic Colorado Bike Tour is your time to start a soft warm up or hit it hard. Our Colorado Fundo stage keeps us in Frisco for four days. There you can opt for short or long routes, daily. Or choose non-cycling options instead.
The second stage of Epic Colorado Bike Tour provides a few of Colorado’s most iconic climbs: Independence, Tennessee, Vail, Keebler, McClure Passes. You will experience some of the most photographed mountain scenery in the world, while in the Aspen High Country. You’ll enjoy small resort towns, climb a dozen of Colorado’s highest passes and cruise past dramatic canyon walls.
Our third stage of Epic Colorado starts in the central Colorado mountains and includes Glenwood Springs, Crested Butte, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Grand Mesa, wine country of Palisade and The Colorado National Monument.. We have even been known to be non-invited participants in a local cattle drive while enroute.
To make your ride safe and enjoyable, your guides have 45 years of experience and knowledge of the Colorado routes. In addition to cycling, we have 3 partial days built in so that you might enjoy activities like fly fishing, kayaking, rafting, hiking and spa experiences.
