Venus de Miles

You can change a flat tire. You can fix a toilet. And you can make one mean margarita. Created for women by women, Venus de Miles is Colorado's first women's-only bike ride.

You're invited you to ride, in the spirit of challenge and in the spirit of charity in support of Greenhouse Scholars, an organization providing mentorship and scholarship support to high-performing, under-resourced students. Become a part of this Colorado first and only -- because you're a woman, and because you can.

The ride begins and ends at Prospect Park in Longmont, Colorado. The 35-mile route runs through Longmont, Hygiene and Niwot, while the 65-mile journey heads for Lyons and Jamestown. Aid stations along the way will provide water, snacks and other support.

The event also includes a post-ride party for participants, with lunch and beer by Oskar Blues, music by DJ Tusk Lounge, and specialty massage and mini-facials by the Boulder College of Massage Therapy, Women's Quest and Essentials Spa.
