A Colorado institution with genuine staying power — Tour de Steamboat has been moving riders and raising serious money for local charities since 2005, with roots that trace back even further to cycling pioneer Kent Eriksen. This isn't some pop-up weekend fundraiser; it's the kind of event that's woven into a town's identity.
Steamboat Springs sits in the Yampa Valley, ringed by the rolling ranch country and mountain terrain that made it a cycling destination long before gravel was a genre. Expect roads that climb into big western Colorado sky.
