Denver Post Community Foundation

Ride The Rockies

One of the best ways to be involved with Ride The Rockies without actually riding it is to volunteer!

RTR travels with a core group of volunteers who help make this bike tour a success. The RTR Volunteer Crew is a unique group; some of our most dedicated volunteers started only a few years ago, and others have more than 25 years under their belts!

Key Dates:
Friday June 7th - Orientation 1p - 4pm in Crested Butte, CO
Saturday June 8th - Opening Day!
Sunday June 9th - Saturday June 15th: Tour Dates


Some of the benefits to volunteering:

-Lodging throughout the week, shared with a roommate.
-Meal coupons for the Community Meals in each town, and a small daily food stipend
-Custom selection of Crew clothing to wear throughout the week - each volunteer gets to choose the size and items they wish to wear
-Detailed instructions and training for each position. There will be 3 (three) pre-tour meetings, and one all-Crew, all-Staff orientation on June 7th in the start town
-A fuel card to cover fuel costs during the Tour, sponsored by Suncor
-CPR certified - RTR will set up CPR certification classes in the Denver area / reimburse up to $50 of a CPR certification class
-The coolest way to see all of Colorado! Visit with the townspeople, drive on the side roads, and enjoy the view.
-Spend the week with an amazing group of people, volunteers and cyclists alike!
