See all- Cino Ride in Kalispell, MT with overnightNeeds location
Ride through time to a corner of Montana that the world forgot. Meet vintage bike enthusiasts and geek out over custom builds. Enjoy sweeping panoramas and eat like the champions of the great tours. Covering over 100 miles in two days (mostly on dirt and gravel), you will revel in the exquisite camaraderie that is unique to Cino. The tradition and spirit of the ride revolves around vintage bikes. That said, we welcome all non-electric bikes and their riders.

Similar to the GJ Leroica rides of the mid 2011s. (Steve Stevens might be Chris Browns Alter Ego)
- Bike-Hike-Bike to the top of the Bookcliffs and Michelin ManCameo Shooting and Education Complex, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Palisade, CO
We'll ride up Coal Canyon (the one starting at Cameo, east of Palisade), a nice easy doubletrack out-and-back, for about 6 miles on easy climbing dirt road. Often we see the wild horses here.
Then we'll hide our bikes and walk up through a rough canyon to the top of the Bookcliffs. This may be only a mile, maybe it's two miles. So the hike is no more than 4 miles total. There's nothing technical, but some parts are steep, and there's a bunch of slickrock, so you definitely want walking/hiking shoes with good traction.
After we look over the top we'll hike back down to the bikes and ride back to the cars.
Exit I-70 at exit 45 (Cameo), the one where Kokopelli Farms is. Head north on the main road toward the shooting range. Cross the river, then just after you cross the railroad tracks, and just before crossing the canal, there's a wide dirt parking spot on the right. Park there and we'll start from there. (If you want a shorter ride you could go to the Main Canyon trailhead parking lot.)
The location shown by Meetup is not very accurate, but this pin should be perfect.
Don't forget your walking/hiking shoes! Bring some drinks or snacks or peanuts for after.
