Those tents sure are close together!
You would fit in and absolutely love this ride. Not only would you enjoy the scenery I know you'd really like the comraderie that goes along with the event. Plus, they have local bands at the Beer Garden every night that play your kind of music. I'm sure they'd welcome another of their own to the stage to assist as well!
The picture above of tent city was in Ouray where they actually ran out of tent spaces. It was the only place it happened all week. People were putting up tents in some of the tightest spots imaginable. It was part of the incentive of me getting an earlier start and trying to get to the next city before the big rush. The only flat spot in Ouray was the field we were camping on. The Main St that runs through Ouray is probably on a 5% grade???
