The iconic Ride the Rockies supported bike tour is cancelled for 2024 and its future is in doubt. In a statement on the Ride the Rockies website, organizers cited lack of registrations for the ride originally scheduled for June. This year’s ride was to travel through Southwestern Colorado from Steamboat Springs to Fruita over 6 days.
The statement reads:
“Dear Ride The Rockies Cyclists, After much consideration and evaluation of the limited registration, we regret that Ride The Rockies 2024 is cancelled. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the towns, participants, sponsors, crew, volunteers, and supporters who have had a role in making this ride so special for the past 37 years.
Please email [email protected] with any questions.”
The ride is owned by Ventures Endurance, the promoters of RAGBRAI and the Tour of Battenkill as well as many running events. They took over the ride 2 years ago from the Denver Post Foundation.

As for the future of the ride, the organizers stated only, “We are assessing the best options for this beloved ride.”
