50 miles…as spicy as you want ‘em.
The Farmstand 50 is a local favorite route through “The Mesa”, Pueblo’s agricultural breadbasket. Roads on the Farmstand 50 are well-maintained, with minimal climbing and a bit more texture than the roads found on our Grassroots Gravel courses featured each October.
The inaugural Farmstand 50 is powered by Minnequa Works Credit Union, Pueblo’s locally owned, member-driven financial institution that has served Southern Colorado since 1937.
One distance. For everyone.
We’re serving up something simple and spicy. Registration will be very limited (our main event in October has sold out three years in a row). We’ll have women’s, men’s, and gender-expansive categories. We’re keeping it accessible. We’re keeping locally-sourced meals for all riders. We’re supporting local nonprofits. And we’re keeping it to one distance and depart. Fifty miles…flavored however you prefer.
Local flavors.
The Farmstand 50 will feature some of our favorite local flavors (like the Pueblo chile!) local farmstand experiences, and will engage local conservation and agriculture nonprofits including Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo and Palmer Land Conservancy.
It’s gonna be fun. For everyone.
Registration is open now

We’re keeping the Farmstand 50 super simple and limited in size. Our registration cap is small, so this one’s gonna sell out quickly. If you want in, we strongly suggest you sign up now.
Registration includes:
Precision race timing and souvenir number plate
Fully stocked aid stations and SAG vehicles on course
Post-ride food from a local family business
NA brew options from Athletic Brewing at the venue, plus a token for a beer at Brues Alehouse downtown! (We want to be sure folks can drive safely from this more rural venue)
Custom event swag
Parking and access situation:
This area is rural and the roads are a classic, narrower country variety. Do not park on the roadside. To avoid congestion we’ve gotten access to a large lot down the road from a generous local resident. We’ll have ADA parking right at the venue. General parking will be just under a mile away and managed by our team.
We will be in touch with details about a bag check at the venue.
Need a hand? We all get by with a little help from our friends. We’ve created the Ride Together Grant as an opportunity to expand event access for folks facing financial barriers. Applications and awards are limited. Click for more info
The Route
The Farmstand 50 is a big loop through Pueblo’s agricultural history. These roads feature mellower grades than other routes and courses in the region (no big hills), and gravel that varies from packed and smooth to a bit more rustic. Like all our courses, we make sure you won’t run into anything super technical. Conditions will vary by weather, of course!
Distance and gain is almost exactly 50 miles and 1,000’ elevation!

Notes on the course:
Riders will be on US-50 very briefly. On that short segment, riders must remain on the shoulder, ride single-file, and may not pass one another.
The start location of the event route is different from the version of Farmstand 50 we’ve shared before. If pre-riding the course, do not park at the start shown on the event route. Look to this one instead.
This is a rural, low-traffic area. Riders may encounter wildlife, dogs, vehicles, farm equipment etc, and are expected to follow all traffic laws and regulations as well as use common sense.
This is a rules-of-the-road event and you participate at your own risk.
