Pedal Party

Event Details: Join UpaDowna for community bike rides for all levels! Take on various shared trails, learn about basic bike safety, and enjoy the views! This Summer, weekly rides will take place every Thursday from 6-7:30pm at rotating locations across Colorado Springs including Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort, Red Leg Brewing Company, Kinship Landing, and Goat Patch Brewing Company. Check out the schedule below for more details. Rides will occur on pavement and light gravel trails and will range from 6-8 miles roundtrip. All rides are 'no drop rides' meaning no rider will be left behind! Safety first - helmets are required on all rides. No helmet? UpaDowna will provide you with a loaner!

The more you ride, the more chances you'll get to win our awesome end-of-season giveaway:

• Cruiser Bike and a Custom Bike Fitting Session provided by Bike Clinic Too
• Arc'Teryx Gear (up to $300 in value!)

UpaDowna Season Pass riders will get to enjoy a post-ride refreshment with drink specials from participating locations as an ode to our original motto, "Up a Mountain, Down a Beer!"
