Colorado HeartCycle - About Us

The Colorado HeartCycle Association, Inc. is a non-profit Colorado corporation in its 32nd year of providing bicycle tours. The club is organized and run by volunteers who enjoy the challenge and the fun of cyclotouring and want to share their enthusiasm.

HeartCycle has the unique distinction of having originally been formed as a cardiac research project (hence the name), but has long since become simply a non-profit bicycling club that promotes multi-day, SAG supported tours. You can read more about HeartCycle's history here. A volunteer Board of Directors meets monthly and welcomes member attendance and participation in planning and running events. HeartCycle also has many other volunteers working to assist the Board.

During 2010, HeartCycle will be offering 13 tours in Colorado, California, Oregon, Arizona, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Idaho, New Hampshire, Germany and a very unique tour, the third leg of our Ride Across America. All tours are led by volunteers, and the costs are kept as low as possible consistent with providing quality lodging facilities and support on the road.
