Riders take off from the world-famous Broadmoor resort, speed into town, and enter a 16-mile circuit, on which they’ll complete four laps. The circuit features climbs through the Garden of the Gods, Mesa Road, and Ridge Road.
That's only $1 per issue!
Distance: 70 miles
Start: 12:50 p.m.
Where to Watch: The route goes through the center of the city twice and finishes downtown, so find a spot near either Cascade Avenue or Tejon Street near the city center.
Fuel Up: Treat yourself to some of the best Ethiopian food in the mountains at Uchenna.
Don’t Miss: The amazing rock formations at Garden of the Gods. Check out the visitor and nature center at 1805 N. 30th St. in Colorado Springs.
Stay: If you enjoy the Garden, stay awhile at the Garden of the Gods Club and Resort.
