Possible Aspen Road Trip
I have a bit of a connection for a first class condo about 250 feet from the base of Aspen mountain.
https://www.aspensquarehotel.com/content/accommodations
There is great riding in the area obviously (where Mr. Lance likes to train).
https://wildernet.com/pages/summary.cfm?CU_ID=1
https://www.aspencyclingclub.org/
Who might be interested in a road trip?
If we drive out, thinking 4 guys, maybe 4 nights there, about $250 a guy for lodging. The condo has full kitchen, sleeps 5 comfortably, full amenities ...
Who might be interested, let's say first or second week of June?

I'm intrigued...
June 5/6/7 is out for me, but aside from that, I like this thought.

Check the schedule at americancycling.org
Several events in Glenwood springs on 12-14th June. TT, excellent RR and downtown crit. I was there last year and highly recommend it.

Downtown crits are my thing. (not very hilly) I would totally go that.

So, I'm pretty much in for this if it's the June 12-14 time, pending the fine details. Is the plan awaiting more participants? I'd just like to get a handle on it so I can nail down my work schedule.
Let a brother know.
