This was an Ends of the Earth Cycling Outreach Tour – a Christ-focused tour within a tour. The Colorado Bike Ride 2024 was going to take place within the 35th edition of the epic Ride The Rockies event.
You may have heard that Ride The Rockies made the difficult decision recently to cancel their event for this year. We would like to let you know that our Ends of the Earth Cycling Crew had an emergency in-person meeting for prayer and careful discussion. We have concluded that the Lord has put this tour and this team together and has a plan for it and us. We also know that the youth of Brazil still need Jesus and can always use our prayer and promotion and resourcing.
We have decided… The Colorado Bike Ride for the Youth of Brazil is ON!
We are excited to hold this tour and believe it will be amazing. We will ride the same route through the same towns as Ride the Rockies. You will experience a few challenging climbs over mountain passes and showcases the state’s spectacular scenery. Join us as we experience the beauty of God’s creation in the Rocky Mountains of Western Colorado. Ride with us as we pray for, promote, and resource the youth of Brazil.
Daily cycling routes can be as short as 45 miles or as long as 100 miles, but generally average 65-75 miles. This year’s ride includes 410+ miles and 23,000+ feet of climbing over six days of cycling. You will meet your Ends of the Earth Cycling tour-mates in the beautiful and historic city of Grand Junction sitting in the lush Grand Valley, an oasis that runs through the high desert of Western Colorado. Your cycling route will take you through the cities of Steamboat Springs, Craig, Meeker, Rangely, and Fruita as well as the Dinosaur National Monument and Colorado National Monument. This is truly an epic route and itinerary.
Registration Closes May 11, so register soon.
