Blue Sky Citizens Challenge Limited spots available
It’s you versus the clock. Or just an opportunity to climb to the top of a 14er on closed roads with spectacular views. Unlike the race, this event will be a mass start, and your time will not begin until you cross the timing mat. Results will be broken into 10-year increments (male and female). Because this is for fun, there are no awards - just the reward of doing something extraordinary. All riders in the Citizens’ Challenge will receive a jersey.

This event is USA Cycling sanctioned and requires an annual USA Cycling license or a one-day license ($15 purchased with USA Cycling).
