Just saw pictures from Day 1, Cottonwood Pass. The amount of snow at 12,000 ft is unbelievable. Only 40% of winter snow has melted here in the Colorado mts. Pictures prove it.
Enjoy your tour.

Cottonwood Pass was a blast! Snow, dirt, tailwinds! Day 2 had 35 miles of headwind, then a beautiful ride over Tennessee Pass and Battle Mountain. Pretty stuff!

OMG! What is this? Is this the most awesome thing I've ever seen? Hell YEAH!!! DH and I are crossing all our fingers and toes in hopes that we can do this next year. And heck, if anyone doesn't get in and wants to come house/dog sit for us here in Hawaii, you got a deal!
I have some Q's for you gals that have done this ride in the past:
1. Register as a group for a husband and wife team?
2. We've been to CO once and nearly froze. It was in June. It got down to 34 degrees. I assume that tenting it would be suicide for folks from Hawaii?
3. If the answer to #2 is yes, is it nearly impossible to get a B&B or Hotel for this?
4. If the answer to #3 is no, do you feel left out or anti-social if you don't stay in the gym/tent camp?
5. Have you ever seen anyone do this ride on a Bike Friday?
6. What is the most common bike used on this ride? (Road, Touring, Mtn with slicks?)
7. If they would change/add something to the ride, what would you want it to be?
8. Have you ever had to use the SAG wagon? If so, why?
9. Have you ever tented or stayed in the gym? If yes, was there so much snoring you couldn't sleep? ;-)
10. How has the weather been, on average, during the ride? Cold, hot, rainy, windy?
Thanks! I am sooooo excited to see this. It's the week after my first half Ironman so I'm not exactly sure how I'll hold up - will probably train for 60 miles for the half iron. VERY concerned about the altitude so we will need to head out a little earlier to get 2 days under our belts.
