Pikes Peak Descent (in full) - Cycling Inspiration & Education

At 14,115ft / 4,302m the summit of Pikes Peak makes you feel like you’re on nothing but the top of the world. The lack of oxygen and lower air pressure doesn’t just make it harder to breathe, it means you accelerate far quicker than normal which, if you’re not aware, can catch you out. Descending through every layer of vegetation, from the unique pink Pikes Peak Granite, through the ‘Devil’s Playground’, on towards the famous switchbacks and then deep into Bigfoot territory, this is a descent like nothing else on the planet. Length: 19 miles / 30.5km Summit: 14,115ft / 4,302m Finish: 7800ft / 2,377m Elevation drop: 6,315ft / 1925m Average gradient: 6.5% Max gradient: 13% Thank you to our partners Mavic, Cannondale, Exposure Lights, Fi’zi:k, Haute Route, Lezyne, Map My Tracks, Muc Off, Scicon, The Sufferfest, TORQ and USE for enabling us to bring these truly special mountains to life for you all.
