I have my sights on Cascade so it will be an early spring SR.

StephenH (Last Chance potential rider) and Cheg (Colorado High Country rider): welcome to Colorado! Last Chance is a great ride for a first 1200K- only about 18k of climbing total (but you've gotta love rollers!).The challenge for Last Chance will be the logistics in a deep rural area. Contact me off line if you have questions. CHC is a BEAUTIFUL ride - many reports of moose and eagles on route. It's well supported. For folks coming to Colorado from sea level be sure you plan to spend a few days relaxing in Denver before the ride- a few folks had issues w/ altitude sickness last year.

good luck and happy riding everybody!
