Iron Horse Bicycle Classic anyone?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got a great gift for my 40th birthday - a trip to Durango CO to do the Iron Horse race to Silverton. I 've wanted to do this forever! I am heading down from the Pacific Northwest, aside from aclimating myself, anyone have info re: hauling my butt over Coal Bank and Molas Pass (10,000 ft), weather, clothing you know things I have forgotten about since moving away 15 yrs. ago... Can't wait to visit old friends and hang out in familiar places... Pedalpup

thanks for the advice in moving this over to Rocky Mtns.!
