Bicycle Tour of Colorado

..... And the altitude, well, that could be an issue, but I suggest they arrive a couple of days early to acclimate.....

Thanks! I learned a big lesson in Utah last year during Little Red Riding Hood. And that location (~5000') was less than half the altitude at BTC (up to nearly 12,000'). I did not drink enough water and had a headache for three full days following the event. I was drinking lots of water after the event but it still took me several days to recover.

I arrive in Denver on Thursday, three days before the event and will travel from Denver to Steamboat the day before the event. I'll be bringing electrolyte capsules in addition to forcing myself to drink plenty of water during (and before) the event.
