Events and Rides

The Cloud City Wheelers Sponsor some Fun Events and Rides
Currently, the Wheelers have been coordinating with other local organizations to provide several opportunities
for members of the community to get out and ride.
Twice Weekly Mountain Bike Rides
On Monday and Wednesday evenings, bikers meet at the Cycles of Life bike shop in downtown Leadville for evening
rides. All skill levels are welcome, and a ladies ride has also been happening. Riders meet at 6pm for these
awesome outings.
Winter Mountain Bike Race Series
These unique and exciting races occur throughout the winter in and around Leadville. Utilizing groomed nordic
ski trails and snowmobile trails, these races are a great way to keep riding and racing during the off-season. One of the races is even held at
night!
A typical course is 12 miles with a mix of spine-tingling conditions. Cost is $20
per race.
All proceeds from the race series go towards Cloud City Wheelers advocacy efforts. These races always end with
plenty of tasty food and beverages, laughter and dang good times. Come on up and enjoy the ride!
