Tour of The Rio Grande Bicycle Century

About the Event

Experience the unique charm of the Rio Grande Bicycle Century, set for its final run on the fourth Sunday of September. This virtual ride invites cyclists to explore the scenic South Valley area from their own pace and comfort. Despite local road works and construction concerns, organizers have chosen not to alter the traditional route, ensuring participants can still enjoy familiar terrains while supporting local businesses.
The event is designed for riders who wish to capture a piece of this special moment in time without the constraints of a mass start or specific date. Participants will use RidewithGPS directions available on the official website at www.torgbc.com, allowing flexibility and convenience regardless of current road conditions.
Supporting small businesses along the route has never been easier; local eateries offer refreshments to fuel your journey, making this ride not just about cycling but also about community engagement. Whether you complete a section or the full course, every effort contributes to preserving the legacy of this beloved event.
For those looking for more than just a virtual experience, two registration options are available: a $5 fee and a $20 option that includes a commemorative shirt and stickers, along with local sponsor perks—perfect for collectors. All orders will start shipping in June, with an estimated turnaround time of about two weeks from the moment you place your order.
Mark your calendars; online registration closes at 11:59 PM MST on September 27th. Join us to celebrate this final chapter and perhaps even consider returning next year for a new adventure!

About Albuquerque

Learn more about the host city, Albuquerque.

Scenic view of

Albuquerque, also known as ABQ, is a vibrant, sprawling city near the center of New Mexico. Cradled in the Rio Grande Valley beneath the Sandia Mountains, it is by far the largest city in the state, acting as the media, educational, and economic center of New Mexico, as well as the home of the state's only major airport, making it a common entry point into New Mexico. Despite this, Albuquerque is often overshadowed as a tourist destination by Santa Fe, 60 miles (97 km) to the north.
