    Fabulous new tour in Colorado! 109West!

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    This looks like a fabulous ride - AMAZING route, that's for sure! Grand Junction, Cederedge, Ouray, Durango, Cortez, Telluride and finishing at Gateway Canyon. http://www.109west.com It sounds like the support is gonna be great, and it's nice not to have to camp! I can't remember if I already posted this, so sorry if this is a double post! I'm really excited to be doing this tour, and I would LOVE to meet more TE'ers out there!!!
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    " Imagine this: cool mountain air enveloping you as you descend some of the most beautiful mountain passes found anywhere". Interesting that they don't mention having to climb those beautiful mountain passes ... Sounds like a wonderful tour (sounds wonderful to be in shape to do it!)

    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.
