…the Monument Ride Center opens Saturday, May 1st.  It is 15 miles upstream via the Santa Fe Trail through the USAFA.  If you are continuing on to Palmer Lake, that is 18.1 miles total, and there are an additional 8.5 miles available across the county line in the Douglas County Open Space.

Stop in at Criterium to sign up for our early-season ride incentive before you head north.  During May we will have prizes for riders who complete the 15-mile ride to Monument for the first time this season.  There will also be incentives for completing the road loop from Monument going north via 105, through Larkspur, and back on Spruce Mtn Road–about 30 miles.

The Ride Center has a separate rental fleet, same-day minor repairs, and little stuff that you forgot to bring along, as well as a schedule of on-bike riding classes:  www.monumentbicycles.com
