Ride along with friends and neighbors in groups led by BikeDenver and learn the best commuting routes to downtown! Performance Bicycle will sponsor this 1st annual BikeDenver Peloton event.

Pelotons will include local community leaders who bike to work and familiar faces like Reggie Rivers (former Bronco), Greg Moody (CBS4), Ellen Hart Pena (2-time Bolder Boulder winner and former Olympian), and Nancy Severson (Denver Environmental Health Director).
