I looked at this ride with interest as it starts at my front door. But it's not a ride for frugal folks. I have ridden many of the roads on this tour and they are great!
If you do this ride and you still have energy after you get to Gateway, try to ride the rest of the way back to Grand Junction (55 miles) through Unaweep Canyon. It's a beautiful ride.

Wow, it's something to shoot for. Will this be yearly? I am doing Cycle Oregon this year. Maybe this is something to plan for next year.
