Our Events
RacesAnnual Pikes Peak Supercross - Since 2001, Pikes Peak Velo has been hosting THE premier Cyclocross Race here in Colorado Springs. Attracting both National Champions and first-time racers, the event is challenging and fun. This year, our race was held at historic Rock Ledge Ranch and Garden of the Gods; the first time there has been a bike race at this location and it didn't dissapoint. Over 200+ racers battled one of the toughest run-ups while also experiencing some incredible single-track through Garden of the Gods Park. The new "citizens" category got 30 new racers out for the first time doing Cyclocross and from what we heard, they are all coming back for more! The free Kids Race organized by Kids on Bikes had a stampede of little racers going over mini-obstacles with spectators and parents cheering them on! Special thanks to the Front Rangers Junior Cycling Club for their assistance as well. Also, generous donations from Texas Roadhouse BBQ and Borriello Brothers Pizza kept everyone stuffed while raising money for Kids on Bikes. The event is a true partnership between Pikes Peak Velo Racing various organizations here in Colorado Springs. For 2012? All we can tell you is that it will be even better! Stay tuned for more information as we reserve our date with American Cycling Association. KOAA News Story 2011 Supercross
