The longest running ride in Colorado Springs, now in its 27th year, the Starlight Spectacular continues to delight and amaze. From the crazy costumes, to all of the colorfully lighted bicycles, to the sheer joy of being able to bike the Garden of the Gods at night by moonlight, there are so many reasons this ride draws up to 1,5000 riders a year.
