Swift Big Ride Week - July 6 to July 10
Al 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.
