the evening event and kickoff of the "Colorado Springs Bike Week." This year we are planning
for well over 600 riders.
The date for the 2003 ride is Saturday, June 21. The entertainment starts at 10:00 p.m. and
riders leave at Midnight. Upon arriving back at the Visitor Center about 2:00 a.m, breakfast is
served on the patio. Included are pre-ride entertainment, gift drawings at the Visitor Center,
and a downtown rest stop at the Antlers Plaza, refreshments, and bike repair along the route.
Participants include riders of all ages, many families, companies and organizations and even a
few child trailers.

entertainment, prize drawings, refreshments at the rest stops, and breakfast. Companies and
organizations are encouraged to participate as a group and receive a discount. You can register

up a registration form by visiting our website at www.starlightspectacular.org, or at a

The Starlight Spectacular is a fund raising event for the Trails and Open Space Coalition. An
all-volunteer committee administers the ride. This means that all proceeds not devoted to rider
related accommodations go to the Trails and Open Space Coalition. Our goal is to have all entry
fees benefit local trail and open space advocacy.
