Bob Cook Memorial Blue Sky Hill Climb
27.4 Miles • 6,700’ Vertical • Highest Paved Road in the US
Idaho Springs to Mount Blue Sky, Colorado
2024 Registration
Registration opens
february 14th
Go get ‘em, tiger - 27 miles and over 6,700’ of climbing to the summit of Mt Blue Sky (formally Mt Evans) at 14,130’.
Two options: the USA Cycling Race, which is the Colorado State Championship Hill Climb, or the Citizens Challenge Gran Fondo. Both are on the same extraordinary course up the highest paved road in North America.
The road will be closed in for repairs in 2025, so this is your last chance to get in on the action for at least another year.
The Grand Slam - Closes April 29
Fancy yourself a climber? We have a treat for you. Join us for the Triple Bypass on July 13, rest up for a week, and then conquer the highest paved road in North America for the Blue Sky Hill Climb Gran Fondo on July 20. Both events combined cover over 17,500 feet of climbing.
Triple Bypass - 118 miles and 10,800’ over 3 mountain passes
Blue Sky - 27 miles and 6,700 feet to 14,130’
