Racers make their way to Denver’s RiNo Art District, Aug. 18, for a stage that starts and finishes in Velorama. The men launch at 10:30 a.m. for the 100-mile (161.9k) Queen’s Stage that includes 8,133 feet of climbing. The route takes racers west past Coors Field on 29th and 32nd avenues to Golden, over Lookout Mountain for a KOM, through iconic Red Rocks Park and on to Evergreen, where they hit the highpoint KOM at Cragmont Drive, and a final KOM through Indian Hills before making their way over Dinosaur Ridge for a furious sprint from Wheat Ridge High School to the finish at Velorama. Starting at 12:30 p.m., the women race an exciting timed criterium (50 minutes plus five laps) around the activity-filled Velorama Festival.

From the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office:
Colorado Classic Bike Race to Close Some Roads Temporarily Saturday

This Saturday, August 18, the Colorado Classic Bike Race is coming to JeffCo and the sheriff’s office will be assisting Colorado State Patrol with traffic control during the men’s race. The men’s race begins in Denver at 10 a.m. and concludes in the same location at 2:30 p.m., but the majority of the race is in Jefferson County and it will impact traffic on Saturday.

Therefore, local residents are encouraged to look at these maps, particularly the road closure times on the second image. These are estimated closure times and actual closure times may begin a few minutes earlier or later, and the duration of each closure may not be as long as indicated.

Got questions or complaints about the race? Please call 303-801-3341.
