Ride The Rockies, a Colorado cycle-touring institution that dates back decades, is on hold for 2024.

Run each summer since 1986, more than 2,000 cyclists pedaled the roads of Colorado’s high country for one week in a route that changed from year to year.

Organizers announced this summer’s edition—set to be held June 9-15 with stops in Steamboat Springs, Craig, Meeker, Rangely, and Fruita—is canceled due to a lack of registrations.

“After much consideration and evaluation of the limited registration, we regret that Ride The Rockies 2024 is canceled,” a press note from organizers read.

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the towns, participants, sponsors, crew, volunteers, and supporters who have had a role in making this ride so special for the past 37 years.”

It remained unclear if the event will return next summer.

“We are assessing the best options for this beloved ride,” organizers said.
