Stage 3

Not up for riding all 4 days, but still want to join the ride? New to mountain biking or maybe a bit timid? Sign up for the Off-road Fun Ride. For the beginner to intermediate rider, from middle school on up, we have two fabulous coaches to teach you fundamental mountain biking skills: Bobbie Kae Warner and Lisa Myklak.

With less than a month to go before the 2021 Pikes Peak APEX presented by RockShox, we’re happy to report strong registration numbers for the race and that entries are still available if you want to get in on the fun! If you’re on the fence about doing a 4-day mountain bike stage race in Colorado Springs on September 23-26, here are some ideas that might help you land on our side of that fence.

Ride epic routes with comprehensive support

We have a lot in store for Day 3 when we premiere the APEX Outdoor Festival & Expo at America The Beautiful Park on Saturday, September 25th.

We want to make sure there is something for everyone - all levels and all ages. We have invited Kids on Bikes to join us, and they will be offering up free family fun as well as skills clinics. We caught up with Mark Schenberger, Camp Manager, for a chat. Here's a glimpse of what to expect.

APEX:  Hi Mark, tell us more about Kids on Bikes. What's the mission in the Colorado Springs community?

For those of you who have been waiting, today is the day! We're releasing the ONE-DAY OPTIONS for the 2021 Pikes Peak APEX presented by RockShox. We know that some of you may not be up to 4 days of riding, and we have two other options for you. Thursday's Stage 1 and Saturday's Stage 3. Option 1: Stage 1 in Palmer Park - Thursday, September 23, 2021: Stage 1 Prologue in Palmer Park
