The 50-mile course has become one of our most popular routes in recent years. This is the ideal option if you want a great course but do not want to take on a major climb or extra miles of the 85 or 100-mile routes.

It is a great way to explore some of Denver's connected bike routes and cycling roadways. Cruise through City Park and enjoy passing by such landmarks as Coors Field, Union Station and Mile High.
