Swift Big Ride Week - July 6 to July 10Al got a week off of work mentioned doing a Big Ride from Monday July 6 to Friday July 10. I think I'm in. I think Sharon is in.
More the Merrier.It would be either self support or Van support with people taking turns driving. If Van support, we will do camping along the way. I vote for Van support as we can bring more food and drinks!
Pace - Whatever you want. Will have regroups and stops at stores.
Cost - Cheap! Spend money on food, drink and bike stuff.
Open to All - email Al or Me if interested. Route? 5 Day Idea #1... Depending on Camping/Lodging locations...
1. Colorado City to Wetmore - 43 Miles - (so around 38 to Chrisplip place) - Lots of Climbing. Or Start/Finish in Wetmore with out and back route.
2. Wetmore to Salida - ~ 75 Miles - Minor Climbing - 24 Miles on US 50. I think has a small shoulder by river.
3. Salida to Saguache (46 Miles) to Campground near North Pass ~70 Miles - Medium Climbing
4. Campground near of North Pass to Gunny ~80 Miles - One Climb over North Pass, then down to Gunny.
5. Gunny to Buena Vista - 67 Miles - Climbing!!! - (Then 2.5 hour drive home)
Approx - 335 Miles - Minus car shuttle miles. Could increase depending on actual camping locations.
