    I'm planning on doing these passes as training for RTR (if we get accepted)and if I do I'll let you know how they are.

    He didn't say how far it is, but knowing him it's long. I imagine about 60-70 miles but I don't really know. I'll be out there for the Triple Bypass & the first climb is up Juniper so I'm anxious to get out there ahead of time and see what it's like.

    I'll be looking forward to hearing from you once you try the climbs. Thanks!

    Denver is pretty safe. I have worked there a lot and let me tell there are waaaaaay worst place then down town Denver.
    First you must visit the cheesecake factory it is so yummy! Gotta do that if you are a fan. it has a full menu but save room for desert! I also like the Imax theater there and your son will like it. Unless you have already done the imax thing. But it is really neat!
    You can do an orbitz search for a place to stay as well. They rate the hotels I think.

    Does you son like Prairie Dogs? There's a Prairie Dog Village along the Bear Creek Trail that is easily accessible from the parking lot.

    We'd love to see that anyway, if you've got directions!

    We have one near our house, and we saw one in New Mexico on our bikes last year. Will be a nice tie-in to home and our other trips.

    Thanks,

    Are you kidding? On a trip to Vermont we made a point of stopping in Cleveland just so he could eat at the Cheesecake Factory. He'd only heard/seen it on commercials on Nick because we don't have one here. The advertising just drew him right in! lol. It also helped that his favorite baseball team, the Yankees, were playing the Indians that night, too. (I love pointing out that the Indians beat the Yankees at Yankee Stadium 11 to nothing the very next week!)

    Since then he's eaten at CFs in Baltimore, Chicago, and Kansas City. I don't know how I'll be able to avoid it if he finds out there's one in Denver. lol.

    Thanks,
    Karen
