Starting in 2008, Venus de Miles became Colorado’s first and best all-women’s cycling event dedicated to empowering women and the community. Venus de Miles features three courses: 30-mile, 48-mile, and 64-mile. Each course has rest stops equipped with snacks, hydration, port-a-potties, support from the famous Tutu Crew, bike mechanics, a medical team, and even on-course entertainment! For maps and specific details about each course, please check the website here https://venusdemiles.com/courses .
Founded by leadership members at Greenhouse Scholars looking to create a fundraising event for women, Venus de Miles gives back to the community through funds raised by riders*. Greenhouse has accomplished generational, sustainable change by leveraging the transformative power of higher education, working with inspirational role models from low-resource communities, and launching hundreds of projects and new companies.
Ride Ambassador and CCA Vice President Christine Briscoe has created a team (Canada Colorado Riders) and has a discount code for other riders - CHRISTINE2024. Nonriders are welcome to volunteer! Sponsors and festival vendors also welcome.
