| Grand Valley Bike Month 2021 |
Bike with friends on many group rides, join in our month-long challenges or attend one of the free community events.
Challenge your friends, neighbors, and coworkers to participate in the Ride Challenge, in which riders can compete for the most miles on a bike or the most consecutive days ridden.
Participants can sign up for free on Love to Ride, then join the Mesa County Biking group and log your miles all month in three categories (Transportation, Fun & Fitness, or Bike with Kids) for a chance to win prizes. Sync your account with STAVA for easy ride tracking, or log everything manually. Either way, get out and ride! Snap weekly photos and submit for a chance to win the weekly Selfie Contest. Each week, riders are encouraged to try a different trail and bike route; participants can submit two photos per week.
Mesa County encourages residents to give up the keys on May 5 for Bike to Work Day and bike for transportation. Whether you bike to work, school, or your favorite local spot, there are many benefits when you bike instead of drive, including exercise, improved mental health, better air quality, and cost savings.
