Pearl Pass Mountain Bike Tour: September 10-11

In 2011 it will be the 35th Annual Pearl Pass Tour...SAVE THE DATES! The oldest mountain bike event in the world is repeated year after year on a September weekend. The first tour happened in 1976 when a group of Crested Butte rowdies pedaled and pushed their one-speed klunkers over the 12,705 ft. pass and on into Aspen. They didn't know what they were creating.
