“The climb of Pikes Peak will bring riders to the highest point ever reached by the Haute Route and is one of only two paved roads above 14,000 feet in the United States,” said Micah Rice, Head of Operations for Haute Route North America. “The 2018 edition of the Mavic Haute Route Rockies will also contain significantly less unpaved sections than the 2017 edition. We will ensure any unpaved sections represent less than ten percent of the overall route and include only a few hard-packed dirt roads easily ridden on a road bike, which will lead riders to some of Colorado’s most breathtaking scenery.”

Riders will experience an all-new route at the 2018 Mavic Haute Route Rockies, covering approximately 500 miles through high altitude passes with abundant views of the beautiful panoramas that make Colorado the heartland of American cycling. 

Accommodations packages are available for all Mavic Haute Route Rockies participants, including hotel selections located as close as possible to the start and finish area as well as early breakfast and daily transportation of travel bags.
