IT DOESN’T HAVE TO FEEL HOT TO BE A RISK. ☀️🚴

Colorado’s mild summer weather can make for beautiful riding, but don’t let a comfortable forecast fool you. Heat illness can happen even when it doesn’t feel hot.

As you prepare for your final long rides before the Denver Century Ride, know the warning signs and how to protect yourself. Stay hydrated, dress appropriately, listen to your body, cool down when needed, and know when it’s time to stop.

Your goal is to cross the finish line feeling strong, not end up in the med tent.

Spin Doctor is here to help you ride smarter and stay safe. Read the full guide before your next long ride:

85 MILES. BIG VIEWS. LESS CLIMBING. 🚴‍♀️🏔️

Is the 85 Mile Ride your sweet spot?

You’ll get the best of the Denver Century Ride experience without taking on the full challenge of Lookout Mountain. The 85-mile route delivers 84.2 miles of scenic riding, with nearly 3,900 feet of elevation and some of the most spectacular sights around the Denver metro area.

Ride through Downtown Denver, Golden, Dinosaur Ridge, Morrison, Red Rocks, Bear Creek Lake Park, Deer Creek Canyon, and more before making your way back to Northfield.

It’s still a serious ride, but with 2,104 fewer feet of climbing than the full century, it’s a rewarding option for riders who want the distance, the adventure, and the views without quite as much mountain goat business. 🐐

Think 85 might be your number?
