Past Events

Jubilee in the Desert
Jubilee is a 4-day event, full of rides, hikes, group meals, BBQs, and more. Honor 50 years of bike travel while renewing old friendships and making new ones, at a location well known for over 130-miles of interconnected bike paths and fabulous riding.

Tracing the Divide — A Free Documentary Film Screening
Celebrate our 50th anniversary and its upcoming community Drop-in Ride of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route at a free screening of Tracing the Divide. The documentary follows two lifelong friends who trade comfort for chaos as they tackle that legendary route. Through headwinds, mud baths, and monsoon madness, the GDMBR pushes their bodies and brains to the brink. But somewhere between the grind and the glory, they find something even bigger than the finish line: a fresh sense of who they are and why they ride.
