I didn't get into Ride the Rockies (lottery), so I have a decision to make.
Do I attempt the Tour of Colorado?
How the heck does someone find the time/energy to train for
35,000 feet of climbing in 418 miles. Ouch!
I did BTC last year and I work full time and I'm not into killing myself training. I trained a lot for me, mostly hill climbing, but I did real good (which means not fast) but comfortable most of the time.
