Overview 2022 Sponsors Sponsorship Opportunities Volunteer BRIDGES OF THE BUTTE 2023! Bridges of the Butte attracts up to 300 participants each year, with curious spectators marveling at bike-riding dinosaurs, 80s rock bands, and too many tutus to count. Bridges of the Butte is presented by Bank of the West. The event starts with two weeks of virtual bike fun on August 27th —follow the ASC on social media for challenge updates and to win great prizes. Create your own personalized web page to track your fundraising efforts and progress. On September 10 we host a live event —join us for a 4-hour Townie Tour meandering across the beautiful bridges of Crested Butte. Ride laps with your friends, wear costumes, and enjoy the food, fun, and music at the after- party on Elk Avenue. Funds raised through the 19th annual Bridges of the Butte help to provide affordable lessons, state-of-the-art equipment, and highly trained instructors in many disciplines and disability adaptions.
