The San Luis Valley CenturyWe invite you to pedal 100 miles embraced by 14,000 foot mountain peaks beneath the forever reaching Colorado blue skies. The San Luis Valley, surrounded by the dramatic Sangre de Cristo and San Juan Mountains, offers an array of outdoor recreation. Experience the great expanse of one of the world’s largest and highest alpine valleys, covering an area the size of Connecticut at an elevation of 7,500 ft. For scenic sites & lodging see www.alamosa.org.

Bike 2 Build is a benefit ride for Habitat for Humanity. The ride is a fully supported with reststops every 25-30 miles ~ snacks, beverages, good conversation, potty facilities, sag vehicles and rides when necessary. A post-ride meal will be provided for riders in Alamosa. Additional guests may join the (yummy!) meal for $10.~Diego de Vargas, one of the first European explorers, describes the San Luis Valley as “Sierra de las Grullas,” Mountains of the Cranes. The entire Rocky Mountain population of sandhill cranes migrates biannually through the San Luis Valley. The Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge provides crucial migratory bird habitat and a solution to the declining waterfowl wintering habitat.~Nestled at the base of the picturesque San Juan Mountains, Del Norte has a rich history from the gold and silver boomtown days. The Old Spanish Trail was a major trade route from 1830-1848 between Santa Fe and Los Angeles. Traces of the original trail can still be seen.~Vast rich farmlands stretch between the San Juan and Sangre de Cristo peaks. Quinoa, potatoes, spinach, wheat and barley are some of the Valley’s yielding crops.~The ride crosses the Rio Grande several times. With humble beginnings in the San Luis Valley, the mighty Rio Grande is the 5th longest river in North America, flowing 1,900 miles forming the Rio Bravo, the US-Mexico border.
