I also give my highest recommendation to the book, Road Biking Colorado: The Statewide Guide by Michael Seeberg, and also available from Bicycle Colorado (http://bicyclecolo.org/itemdetails.cfm?id=310).

It covers over 150 routes with pictures, descriptions, ratings and elevation profiles. It calibrates nicely with my impressions of the routes I rode last summer. If it says moderate, it means moderate.

My goal is to do Triple By-Pass! Here's the only link I could find:

http://avon.org/index.aspx?NID=415

Please advise if there is a better one. It says 125 miles with 11,000 feet of climbing. I've done two rides tougher than that this year already. However . . . they were at considerably lower altitude, which has to make a HUGE difference.

Anyway, at least once before I die, CO for Triple By-Pass! For 2009 it's already full, plus I'm signed up and paid for Seattle to Portland on that day. Maybe next year?

We're staying with a friend in GJ for a few days. Too bad she doesn't ride; this looks like fun.
