Add Some FORZA to Your Life

FORZA is an Italian word meaning strength, literally force. And FORZA is what gets you through the 719 Ride.

It's the force of your legs and strength of mind. FORZA puts fire in your heart and steel in your legs. Its power makes things possible.

Wear Cycling Inspiration and Culture

Enhance Your Natural Allure and Class

Celebrate Your Accomplishment

"After the finish all the suffering turns to memories of pleasure, and the greater the suffering, the greater the pleasure. That is Nature’s payback to riders for the homage they pay her by suffering." — Tim Krabbe, author of The Rider

If you only buy one jersey or t-shirt this year...

I urge you to purchase a 719 Ride jersey or t-shirt. They are made to wow the eyeballs and the wallet while complimenting your natural ruggedness and beauty. The effect is absolutely stunning, and I recommend it 719%.

A Colorado Springs Original

First conceived and ridden in 2016, the 719 Ride aspires to be a bicycle event that contributes to the culture and community of Colorado Springs. FORZA Colorado Springs!

Riding in the draft of many great and long-established Colorado cycling events, this Colorado Springs Original hopes to become a positive part of the Colorado Springs tradition and identity while celebrating the tradition, lore and culture of cycling and helping set the pace for cycling fun in the Rocky Mountain region.

Since 2022, the 719 Ride has been the official cycling event of the Rocky Mountain State Games. It was also an official partner event in the 2023 Suarez Gran Fondo National Series and 2023 Gran Fondo World Tour.

On participating in the 719 Ride for the first time, the atmosphere is not as tense or stressful as is generally expected. After a few seconds one feels a sort of calming sensation penetrate the mind. As one becomes accustomed to the climbing it is not so oppressive. Many people can remain on the bicycle for many laps. After one has been riding for a while, sweat settles upon the hair and skin like dew breaking forth at the dawn of a spring day. Upon completion of the event, one feels a pleasant drowsiness, some are quite weak, perhaps because they rode too long, while others remark that they feel no unusual sensations. As a whole, however, after the #719Ride people feel very good, are in a good humor and talk about riding again. #instacycling #instacycle #ciclisme #ciclismo #cycling #cyclingfun #cyclinglife #cyclinglove #lovecycling #cyclingpictures #cyclingphotos #roadcycling #roadcyclinglove #roadcyclingpics #roadcyclingphotos #roadcyclist #cyclists #cyclistlife #cyclistlifestyle #cyclingmotivation #cyclinglife #coloradospringscycling #coloradocycling #bikecoloradosprings #bikecolorado #bikingcolorado
The effect of the #719Ride is made evident by the improved complexions and soft and velvety condition of the skins of participants. Cases which have proved most obstinate to other treatments and #cyclingevents yield to the curative qualities of the 719 Ride.
Any account of #ColoradoSprings would be incomplete without some mention of the #719Ride, which has been shown to be quite invaluable in the physical and mental wellbeing of many. #cosprings #cityofcos #visitcos #coloradospringscycling #coloradocycling #bikecoloradosprings #bikecolorado #bikingcolorado
This is quite simply THE BEST TIRAMISÙ IN COLORADO SPRINGS! Hands down, and no exaggeration. Tiramisù comes in many shapes and sizes and is made many different ways. And its always delicious. Its quite simply the best dessert there is. But not all tiramisù is equally delicious. The most delicious presentation is HEAVY on the mascarpone and light on the ladyfingers. This isnt a cake, people. And the ladyfingers have to be SOAKED in their coffee and liquor mix. This combination, which @marigoldcolorado executes with sublime perfection, presents a velvety and decadent mouth feel to transport you mind and soul to Il Bel Paese, despite it being a French restaurant. Mamma mia! We cannot recommend the Marigold tiramisú highly enough. BUONISSIMO! #tiramisu #ColoradoSprings #coloradospringsfoodie #italianfood #italiandessert

Start/finish for stage one of the #pikespeakapex. A bit more involved than our start/finish. Enjoyed being involved in constructing this masterpiece today. #supportlocalevents
The 719 Ride and The Course That Cannot Be Defeated are locally known for their curative values in many common ailments. Through the process of participation and repeated ascents of Rossmere Street and Blodgett Drive, along with the additional inclines along La Corsa, the 719 Ride has been found to be a most powerful agent of metamorphosis and glorification. #719Ride #coloradosprings #coloradospringscycling #coloradocycling #bikecoloradosprings #bikecolorado #bikingcolorado #Coloradolive #liveColorado #ColoradoLiving #ColoradoLifestyle #instacycling #instacycle #ciclisme #ciclismo #cycling #cyclingfun #cyclinglife #cyclinglove #lovecycling #roadcyclinglove #cyclingmotivation #cyclinglife
