Gotcha -

I don't understand why folks recycle old threads rather than starting new ones.
It's not the first time I have missed what was going on.

So I posted on the question two years ago -
And Longmont brought it back up within this thread.

I'll repeat what raybo said -
Longmont has allowed no time for weather, illness, repairs.
Yes, one could do 80 miles per day for 30 days straight -
But if anything goes slightly wrong - it becomes a game of catch-up.
Nothing it worse than trying to crunch on a bike tour.
It defeats the entire purpose.

Trail Ridge may not be open yet in mid June -
So that means extra miles, etc., etc.
