Welcome to the 5th annual Mountains to the Desert Ride (M2D) www.m2dbikeride.com, a stunning one day, 133 mile road ride from the peaks of Telluride, Colorado, to the high desert of Moab, Utah. The purpose of our event is to promote regional community, physical fitness, and to raise money for Just For Kids Foundation (JFK). In 2007 we raised a record $70,000, which the Cheryl Carstens-Miller family matched, creating the annual budget for JFK, a regional non-profit children’s granting organization.
Although a small event with only 150 riders, the ride is fully supported with sag wagons, volunteer emt’s, several aid stations, and at the end of the day we all gather for a lasagna and beer dinner in Moab. Organized starts allow for distances of 133 miles, 101 miles, 69 miles, or 37 miles. We encourage everyone to take part in the fund raising, which is easy and and gives everyone, who has raised at least $ 100, a chance to win one of several prizes including a custom hand built MOOTS (www.moots.com) titanium road or mountain bike! Of course the more you raise…the better your odds of winning. Everyone who rides will receive our now classic organic cotton t-shirt, event water bottle, lots of aid station food & drink, and a memorable dinner in Moab!
