The ride will get your heart pumping with generous amounts of uphill terrain interspersed with downhill sections that give you time to feast your eyes on the spectacular scenery.

The registration fee is $65 until July 1st. Later registrations are $75. This includes an event T-shirt, aid stations/SAG support, SWAG, and a fun festival in Victor with food, beverages (including a Beer Garden), music, vendor/sponsor booths, children's activities, and more. There is also a Pre-Party on Friday evening for Rider Packet Pickup at Gold Hill Mesa.
Not only did the inaugural ride in 2011 get rave reviews, but this is a ride with a purpose. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of the Pikes Peak Region provides a volunteer's voice in court for children who are victims of abuse, neglect or domestic conflict and promotes community awareness to ensure safe and permanent homes. They serve both El Paso and Teller Counties and provided hope for more than 900 children last year.
