Golden 150: A Cross-Colorado Bike Ride
2026-08-01 - 2026-08-21 | Colorado, CO, United States
The Golden 150 is a three-week bike ride across Colorado from border to border, east to west, in honor of our Centennial State’s 150th birthday! The route follows the Colorado section (Section 3) of the Adventure Cycling Association’s newly-launched Golden Gravel Trail.
I’ll be cycling this itinerary solo and self-supported from Aug 1 – 21, 2026. I’m inviting other Colorado-loving bikepackers to join me on a drop-in basis (i.e. you are also self-supporting and not reliant on a guide or vehicle support).
The trip spans three distinctive regions of Colorado over three weeks:
– Week 1 (Aug 1 – Aug 7) crosses the Eastern Plains, from the border to Pueblo.
– Week 2 (Aug 8 – 15) crosses the heights of the Rocky Mountains, from Pueblo to Crested Butte.
– Week 3 (Aug 15 – 21) crosses the Western Slope’s mesas and valleys, from Crested Butte to Moab, UT.
Join for all or any of the ride segments. There will be a rest day in Pueblo, Salida, and Crested Butte to facilitate joining and leaving from bus-transit-served communities.
