Dolores, Colorado sits quietly off of Highway 145 at the elevation of 6,900ft. perfect for altitude training. Dolores is halfway between Durango and Telluride and only 20 minutes from Mesa Verde National Park. The USWCDP is known in town and everyone looks forward to having pros in town to ride. Everything is within walking distance, grocery, library, post office and pub. Mountain bike trails are a quick drive up the mesa to the San Juan National Forest to the Boggy Draw trails or 15 minutes to Phil’s World. Road riding and mountain biking is some of the best in the country, with clean roads, easy access to trails and locals that are aware of cyclists.
