Organized Affordable Colorado Touring Links
With the demise of several great and affordable group tours (e.g. Bicycle Tour of Colorado and Colorado Rocky Mountain Bike Tour) the only organized events left are Denver Post rides (Ride the Rockies and Pedal the Plains), club rides (e.g. Rocky Mountain Cycling Club and other clubs), or rather expensive private tours. In this category, I'll list one ride, down Pikes Peak, as it could be fun for out of towners or those looking to coast down.
