M2D: LET’S RIDE!

The Mountains to the Desert Classic (M2D) is celebrating its 22nd Anniversary as the primary fundraising event for the Just For Kids Foundation.

Join our beloved local ride, beginning in Telluride, Norwood, or Ridgway and finishing in Gateway, Colorado. Whether participants choose to ride 110, 103, or 73 miles, they will experience the full Colorado beauty and grandeur of high mountains to desert terrain.

From alpine glow and aspen forests to sandstone cliffs and palisades, participate in this iconic ride to support our San Miguel County communities.

REGISTER + RIDE

Spend some time to train and gain or roll off the couch and cruise - come as you are and participate in the M2D Ride. We welcome people of all backgrounds, ages, and accessibilities, and look forward to experiencing the journey with you along the way.
