Mountains to the Desert Classic 2024

The 21st Anniversary of the M2D Ride takes place on September 21, 2024, all in support of our regional Just For Kids Foundation. Join us for this cherished local event, starting from either Telluride, Norwood, or Ridgway (new in 2024!) and culminating in Gateway, Colorado. Immerse yourself in Colorado’s breathtaking fall beauty and majestic landscapes as you ride between 70 to 120 miles of gentle, quiet roads. From the awe-inspiring alpine sunrise and enchanting golden aspen forests of Telluride to the striking sandstone cliffs and palisades of the Gateway desert, this iconic ride offers an unforgettable experience. Saddle up alongside your friends and family for the best Gran Fondo of Western Colorado. You’ll be fully supported all the way, with a finish line of great food and music.
