Well, that's too far away for me fellows but I'm planning on doing these rides this year:

I may be the only C&V bike there but the rides themselves are quite appropriate to the l'Eroica style ride. And excellent training for it. If there are any C&Vers in the Colorado area I encourage you to look into these. I'll also be doing the 2011 Assault on the Peak hill climb up Pikes Peak. There is still a bit of unpaved road left but not much. By 2012 it'll probably all be paved. Perhaps we could turn one of those into a regional C&V l'Eroica.
