Headed to Colorado for CRMBT

Hey everyone!  Long time since I last sent an update on my biking adventures.  One week from today, I’ll be starting yet another Colorado bike tour on the Colorado Rocky Mountain Bike Tour.

As their own website puts it, it should be EPIC!  We have 10 mountain passes we’ll be traversing over 6 days and 438 miles.  And to make it really memorable, we’ll be riding  on the highest paved road, the Trail Ridge Road in the Rocky Mountain National Park (12,183ft) and later to the peak of Mt. Evens at 14,271ft!  The overall map for this years ride is (just click on the map to see the details daily route):

Steve Horowitz and I completed the BTC bike tour from last year.  We will be joined this year by another riding buddy here in the DFW area, Kevin Spinhirne. Kevin is a great rider, that will be blazing the trails for us as I try to keep up with him.

One item of note, I’ll be riding a new rig this year, a 2016 Specialized Rubaix SL4 Comp with Ultegra Di2.  I’ve had it since May and it’s been a blast to ride.  Can’t wait to hit the mountains with it.

While in Colorado, in addition to riding with Steve and Kevin, I’ll also be able to spend some time with good friends, the Spainhours and Skolnicks.  We will have a rest day while in Estes Park, just outside the Rocky Mountain National Park, when we’ll be joined by Marilyn.  These moments always makes it special.

My intent is to provide some daily blog about the adventure, as well as some video from the rides.  Be sure to keep a lookout on this website and Facebook.

Talk with you soon!
