As always, we will begin at the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center. And we will offer the same festive pre-ride activities.....music, food, decorated bicycle competitions and more.

Great Rest Stops

Once again, we will have our famous ‘themed’ rest stops with REI hosting the first fun-filled stop, and Colorado Springs Cycling Club and Old Town Bike Shop outdoing themselves at the second stop at Bancroft Park in Old Colorado City. Hope you enjoy the costumes, refreshments and maintenance support at each stop.

Watch this!

The Starlight Spectacular provides financial support to the Trails and Open Space Coalition (TOSC) to help us advocate for cyclists. This is an opportunity for you to support the community and help improve the cycling culture and infrastructure in the Pikes Peak region.
