Team Evergreen Group Rides

Team Evergreen Group Rides are for cyclists who believe the best riding happens where the road tilts upward. Based in Evergreen and riding through the surrounding foothills, these regular group rides offer the kind of scenic, challenging terrain that makes Colorado’s Front Range famous among road cyclists. Every ride involves climbing — sometimes a lot of it — through pine forests, along ridgelines, and up mountain roads with views that make the burn in your legs feel worthwhile.

The Evergreen area sits at around 7,500 feet of elevation, so the riding here starts where many people’s “big climb” ends. Routes often include iconic Front Range climbs like Squaw Pass, Bear Creek, and various mountain loops that string together thousands of feet of vertical gain. The group includes experienced climbers who know these roads intimately and can help newcomers learn the pacing and strategy required for sustained mountain riding.

If you live in the foothills or are willing to make the drive from Denver for better riding, Team Evergreen is worth checking out. Come prepared for climbing — low gears, good fitness, and layers for the descents are essential. The group provides a supportive environment for riders looking to improve their climbing, and the post-ride camaraderie in downtown Evergreen’s cafes and restaurants is a fitting reward for the effort.
