Road Race - Saturday, August 6th

This is an amazing road race course that starts at Veterans Park & sends riders up an extended climb on Peach Valley Rd. At the summit, the course turns left and heads across the rollercoaster on Silt Mesa Rd. before hitting the fun and fast Mile Pond Loop. Older riders continue north on Peach Valley for additional climbing before hitting the Mile Pond Loop. After the Mile Pond Loop all riders climb back up Silt Mesa Rd before a thundering descent to the finish.

This was the new criterium course last yearin downtown Rifle.  It was such a success we are bringing it back! It features a fast and safe four corner course with long straights and a slight climb to make the legs hurt through the tree lined neighborhood and the heart of downtown Rifle.  The start/finish is at East 5th Street and East Avenue.
