A Celebration of Elevation
In Colorado Springs, CO
July 15, 2023
The 719 Ride Elevation Celebration
Is a locally-organized and homegrown cycling challenge for the masses.
It welds cycling and community together on challenging neighborhood roads in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Turning eight in 2023, the FESTIVAL OF NEVER-ENDING ASCENDING can be easily customized to suit your fitness level and fondness for elevated frolicking.
Five laps of The Course That Cannot Be Defeated is the signature ride (71.9 miles and 9,190' of elevation gain), but you can ride as many or as few laps as your mind can handle and your legs will allow. All for the same price!
