Om eventet
Our sixth Ride & Revel! cycling event begins in historic downtown Greeley, Colorado, home to more than seven award winning craft breweries, three distilleries, fascinating utopian history, and an amazing live music culture. Road and gravel rides all start and finish in beautiful tree shaded Lincoln Park.
RECREATIONAL ROAD ROUTES
Cyclists on our 20 mile rides enjoy a short stint through downtown before emerging and pedaling west into the gently rolling farm and ranchlands north of Greeley. The panoramic views are stunning on all three routes, with the Rocky Mountains an ever-present focal point.
All riders will arrive at the Poudre Learning Center (PLC) Aid Station near the ten mile mark, which is where 20 mile riders turn around and travel back the way they came to the Revel! event, which will be gearing up for its 10:30 AM start.
Riders will head back toward downtown Greeley. Once back to the Revel! area within Lincoln Park, cyclists will enjoy each other, a prepared meal, and beer and spirits crafted annually for Ride & Revel! (or non-alcoholic beverages), all while being entertained by live music. FUN! FUN! FUN!
Please note, we will only be using waterproof chalk arrows to indicate route directions.
RECREATIONAL GRAVEL ROUTES
Cyclists on 50 and 75 mile gravel rides enjoy a short stint through downtown before emerging and pedaling west and then north and east into the gently rolling farm and ranchlands to the north of Greeley. They will ride the agricultural backroads of Weld County where there are more gravel and dirt roads to choose from than in any other Colorado county! The views are remarkable with the Rockies to the west, the plains to the east, and rural sights all around!
In the adventurous spirit and tradition of gravel riding, route support for the gravel rides is scaled back to only sag wagons and sweepers. THERE WILL BE NO MECHANICAL SUPPORT OR AID STATIONS AVAILABLE ON THE GRAVEL ROUTES, though there are stores not too far off the routes in Severence (48 mile) and Pierce (70 mile). Please see Event Details and Schedule below!
Once back to the Revel! area within Lincoln Park, cyclists will enjoy each other, a prepared meal, and beer adn spirits locally crafted for Ride & Revel! (non-alcoholic beverages also available), all while sitting under shade trees and listening to live music. FUN! FUN! FUN!
Make A Weekend of It!
With all that Greeley has to offer, we encourage you to arrive a day or two early and stay a day or two after Ride & Revel! Check out our web site at RideandRevel.com to learn more about all there is to do while you’re here! For example, pull out your folding chair or dancing shoes and enjoy great food, live music, and a go-cup atmosphere on the 9th Street Plaza at Greeley's Friday Fest just one block from Ride & Revel's start/finish/Revel! area. Enjoy a great night's sleep at the Double Tree at Lincoln Park before an incredible ride with amazing views followed by brews and and spirits, then treat yourself to a self-guided tour of Greeley's breweries and distilleries - many within walking distance - take your family to Colorado Model Train Museum (the nation's largest), or explore Centennial Village and the Greeley Museum to learn more about our unique utopian history. Wrap it up by enjoying dinner at one of our many and varied quality dining establishments. There's so much here that we locals call the sum of it all "Greeley Unexpected!"
And if you stay longer, Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park are a short hour and fifteen minute drive up the beautiful Thompson River Canyon due west of Greeley, and Pawnee Buttes is 45 minutes to the North East. Both offer stellar hiking and biking opportunities different from those enjoyed during Ride & Revel! And Denver attractions are just an hour south, too!
All of this, and for a great cause! Proceeds from Ride & Revel! benefit 60+Ride, a local nonprofit which provides transportation to Weld County's 60+ population free of charge, regardless of income, offering them the opportunity to maintain their health while living independently.
