Wow Annie - thanks for all that! Hubby and I just found the BTC last night and we thought it was the same as RTR. Just a different name. Ha! So we need to go back and look at it. I think I would appreciate 1 extra week between my half ironman and a long ride in Colorado. (Half Ironman is June 3, RTR is June 10...yikes)

Thanks again. I'm off to find more info on this ride.
